Description Jan Lieskovsky 2011-02-01 13:37:30 UTC 
A double-free flaw was found in the way the MIT Kerberos
KDC handled initial authentication requests (AS-REQ), when
the KDC was configured to provide the PKINIT capability.
A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause the KDC
daemon to abort by using a specially-crafted AS-REQ request. 
Different vulnerability than CVE-2010-1320 and CVE-2005-1174.
