This field is the basis of the errata or release note for this bug. It can also be used for change logs.
The Technical Note template, known as CCFR, is as follows:
Cause
When attempting to change a user's password, the pam_krb5 module would format the password change request in such a way that older versions of kadmind, such as those included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and earlier, would not be able to parse it.
Consequence
Password changes performed by pam_krb5 can fail.
Fix
The module reverted to using APIs which format the request in such a way that older versions of kadmind would be able to parse the request.
Result
Password changes succeed.

Hmm, this is also a limitation of kadmind versions before 1.7, so we'll fail against RHEL 5 and earlier, so we should change this back.
