Package description:
(MIT) Kerberos is a network authentication protocol. It is designed to
provide strong authentication for client/server applications by using
secret-key cryptography. A free implementation of this protocol is
available from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Kerberos
is available in many commercial products as well.

A double-free error may allow unauthenticated remote attackers to
execute arbitrary code on KDC or clients.
CAN-2004-0643
Several double-free errors may allow authenticated attackers to
execute arbitrary code on Kerberos application servers.
CAN-2004-0644
A remotely eploitable denial of service vulnerability has been
