Package        : krb5
CVE ID         : CVE-2021-36222
Debian Bug     : 991365

It was discovered that the Key Distribution Center (KDC) in krb5, the
MIT implementation of Kerberos, is prone to a NULL pointer dereference
flaw. An unauthenticated attacker can take advantage of this flaw to
cause a denial of service (KDC crash) by sending a request containing a
PA-ENCRYPTED-CHALLENGE padata element without using FAST.

For the stable distribution (buster), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.17-3+deb10u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your krb5 packages.

For the detailed security status of krb5 please refer to its security
tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/krb5
