It was discovered that the Kerberos client implementation in the Libraries component of OpenJDK used the sname field from the plain text part rather than encrypted part of the KDC reply. A man-in-the-middle attacker could possibly use this flaw to impersonate Kerberos services to Java applications acting as Kerberos clients.
Apparently another Kerberos implementation affected by the "Orpheus' Lyre" vulnerability: https://www.orpheus-lyre.info/ https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-us/security-guidance/advisory/CVE-2017-8495
