What is CVE-2013-4132?

KDE Workspace versions 4.10.5 and older are vulnerable due to improper handling of return values from the glibc crypt and pw_encrypt functions. This flaw can allow remote attackers to trigger a denial of service condition resulting in a NULL pointer dereference and crash. The issue arises when FIPS-140 is enabled, impacting services like KDM and KCheckPass when faced with invalid inputs such as an incorrect salt, DES or MD5 encrypted passwords, or invalid user passwords.
