Abstract
We present a well-known and well-documented weakness against active attacks in the Telnet Authentication and Encryption Protocol framework, and discuss the consequences for Kerberos (version 4 and 5) Telnet. We recognize that the weakness can ultimately be used by a active attacker to fool Kerberos Telnet users in some implementations. We briefly describe the protocols involved, the weakness, and demonstrate how it can be used to impersonate a server. We conclude with a recommendation on how to solve the identified problem. 1
