https://issues.rpath.com/browse/RPL-925
Description:
Previous versions of the krb5 package are vulnerable to two types
of attacks that are known to allow unauthenticated remote attackers
to cause the kadmind process to crash. (One of these vulnerabilities
involves executing code referenced by an uninitialized variable, and
so may possibly enable more serious attacks, up to and including an
unauthenticated remote root privilege escalation.)
