subject: MSLSA krb5_cc module fails to check success of UNICODE string conversions
The MSLSA krb5_cc module was written with an assumption that probably does not
hold true anymore. It assumed that all Kerberos strings although stored in
wide character data structures could in fact be represented in the application's
ANSI code page and that such conversions would not fail.
The UnicodeToANSI() function did not check the result of WideCharToMultiByte()
for success. If the conversion failed, this could result in the caller believing
the contents of the output string buffer were a valid string when instead they
were simply stack garbage.
The UnicodeStringToMITPrinc() and KerbExternalNameToMITPrinc() functions did not
check the return value of krb5_parse_name() for success. If krb5_parse_name()
was passed a pointer to garbage on the stack instead of an actual principal name,
this could result in the caller believing the output krb5_principal * was valid
when instead it was NULL.
The function CacheInfoEx2ToMITCred() is dependent on the success or failure of
UnicodeStringToMITPrinc() assumed it could not fail and did not return a
success or failure indication to its caller.
If Microsoft a formatted ticket contains a Unicode string that can not be
represented in the application's ANSI code page, this could result in a NULL
pointer dereference during a call to krb5_cc_resolve("MSLSA:") or
krb5_cc_retrieve(), or krb5_cc_get_principal().
With the changes in this commit, tickets containing principal names that cannot
be represented in the application's ANSI code page will be hidden from the
application.
