Synopsis:	Important: krb5 security update
Issue date:	2010-05-18
CVE Names:	CVE-2010-1321

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was discovered in the MIT Kerberos
Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSS-API)
library. A remote, authenticated attacker could use this flaw to crash
any server application using the GSS-API authentication mechanism, by
sending a specially-crafted GSS-API token with a missing checksum field.
(CVE-2010-1321)

All running services using the MIT Kerberos libraries must be restarted
for the update to take effect.
