Mandriva Update for krb5 MDVSA-2012:120 (krb5)

Solution
Please Install the Updated Packages.
Insight
A vulnerability has been discovered and corrected in krb5: The MIT krb5 KDC (Key Distribution Center) daemon can free an uninitialized pointer while processing an unusual AS-REQ, corrupting the process heap and possibly causing the daemon to abnormally terminate. An attacker could use this vulnerability to execute malicious code, but exploiting frees of uninitialized pointers to execute code is believed to be difficult. It is possible that a legitimate client that is misconfigured in an unusual way could trigger this vulnerability (CVE-2012-1015). The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
Affected
krb5 on Mandriva Linux 2011.0, Mandriva Enterprise Server 5.2
