Shawn Emery discovered that in MIT Kerberos 5 (krb5), a system for authenticating users and services on a network, a NULL pointer dereference flaw in the Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSS-API) library could allow an authenticated remote attacker to crash any server application using the GSS-API authentication mechanism, by sending a specially crafted GSS-API token with a missing checksum field.
