Description Pedro Sampaio 2017-08-25 18:00:29 EDT
A flaw was found in krb5 certificate EKU validation which could lead to improper authorization if a forged certificate with the right EKU and no SAN is used.

The PKINIT certauth eku module should never authoritatively authorize
a certificate, because an extended key usage does not establish a
relationship between the certificate and any specific user; it only
establishes that the certificate was created for PKINIT client
authentication.
