1275869: CVE-2015-2696 krb5: IAKERB context aliasing flaw
A type-confusion flaw was discovered in MIT Kerberos, where it incorrectly deals with IAKERB context handles. If an application calls gss_inquire_context() on a partially-established IAKERB context, an unauthenticated remote attacker could possibly exploit the flaw to crash the application (denial of service) by sending it a specially crafted IAKERB packet.
