- 1.4.6.0Okta Credential Provider for WindowsCVE List
A fixed version on one release line is not the upgrade target for every line. Check your exact version and any vendor backports.
Description
The Okta Credential Provider for Windows does not validate a serialized credential buffer before interpreting it as a Kerberos logon structure. The buffer size and packed string offsets are not checked. Processing a malformed buffer can cause the credential provider process to terminate unexpectedly or lead to out-of-bounds memory reads and writes, which may result in the disclosure of adjacent process memory into local system logs.
