Description

kdc/do_tgs_req.c in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.21 before 1.21.2 has a double free that is reachable if an authenticated user can trigger an authorization-data handling failure. Incorrect data is copied from one ticket to another. A vulnerability was found in MIT krb5, where an authenticated attacker can cause a KDC to free the same pointer twice if it can induce a failure in authorization data handling.
