Insight
The spnego_gss_accept_sec_context function in
lib/gssapi/spnego/spnego_mech.c in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.6.3, when SPNEGO is used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via invalid ContextFlags data in the reqFlags field in a negTokenInit token (CVE-2009-0845).
This update provides the fix for that security issue.
