DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Kerberos, which can be
exploited by malicious people to potentially compromise a vulnerable
system.

1) An error within the "kdc_handle_protected_negotiation()" function
(src/kdc/kdc_util.c) when creating a checksum does not properly
verify the key type and can be exploited to free an uninitialized
pointer via a specially crafted AS-REQ.

This vulnerability is reported in krb5-1.8 and later only.

2) An uninitialized pointer dereference error within the
"finish_process_as_req()" function (src/kdc/do_as_req.c) can be
exploited to corrupt the memory by sending a specially crafted
AS-REQ.

This vulnerability is reported in krb5-1.10 and later only.

Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities may allow execution
of arbitrary code.

SOLUTION:
Apply the patch (fixes are scheduled for the upcoming release of
krb5-1.10.3 and krb5-1.9.5).
