The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200507-11 (MIT Kerberos 5: Multiple vulnerabilities)

Daniel Wachdorf discovered that MIT Kerberos 5 could corrupt the     heap by freeing unallocated memory when receiving a special TCP request     (CAN-2005-1174). He also discovered that the same request could lead to     a single-byte heap overflow (CAN-2005-1175). Magnus Hagander discovered     that krb5_recvauth() function of MIT Kerberos 5 might try to     double-free memory (CAN-2005-1689).

Impact :

Although exploitation is considered difficult, a remote attacker     could exploit the single-byte heap overflow and the double-free     vulnerability to execute arbitrary code, which could lead to the     compromise of the whole Kerberos realm. A remote attacker could also     use the heap corruption to cause a Denial of Service.

Workaround :

There are no known workarounds at this time.
