OpenPKG Security Advisory - According to vendor security advisories, two security issues exist in the Kerberos network authentication system implementation MIT Kerberos. First, the RPC library could call an uninitialized function pointer, which created a security vulnerability for kadmind(8). Second, the GSS-API "mechglue" layer could fail to initialize some output pointers, causing callers to attempt to free uninitialized pointers. This caused another security vulnerability in kadmind(8).

Description:
According to vendor security advisories [0][1], two security issues
exist in the Kerberos network authentication system implementation
MIT Kerberos [2]. First, the RPC library could call an uninitialized
function pointer, which created a security vulnerability for
kadmind(8). Second, the GSS-API "mechglue" layer could fail to
initialize some output pointers, causing callers to attempt to free
uninitialized pointers. This caused another security vulnerability
in kadmind(8).
