How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:6 krb5-libs.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream krb5-libs package and not the krb5-libs package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The krb5_db2_lockout_audit function in the Key Distribution Center (KDC) in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.8 through 1.8.4, when the db2 (aka Berkeley DB) back end is used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-1528.
