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:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

lib/gssapi/krb5/iakerb.c in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) before 1.14 relies on an inappropriate context handle, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (incorrect pointer read and process crash) via a crafted IAKERB packet that is mishandled during a gss_inquire_context call.
