Topic

Updated krb5 packages which fix a bug are now available.

Description

Kerberos is a network authentication system, which allows clients and
servers to authenticate to each other through the use of symmetric
encryption and a trusted third party: the Key Distribution Center (KDC).

These packages address the following bug:

  • In cases where a server application began to sequentially iterate through

the contents of a keytab file, if it paused to call certain functions such
as krb5_rd_req() which encountered errors, a subsequent call to the
krb5_kt_next_entry() function could cause the calling application to crash.
The issue has been rectified and updated within these packages so that a
call to the krb5_kt_next_entry() function will not crash the calling
application.

Users of Kerberos are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve this issue.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
