    Kerberos V5 is a trusted-third-party network authentication system,
    which can improve your network's security by eliminating the insecure
    practice of sending passwords over the network in unencrypted form.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
    CVE-2014-5355
    MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) through 1.13.1 incorrectly expects that a
    krb5_read_message data field is represented as a string ending with a
    '\0' character, which allows remote attackers to (1) cause a denial of
    service (NULL pointer dereference) via a zero-byte version string or
    (2) cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) by omitting the
    '\0' character, related to appl/user_user/server.c and
    lib/krb5/krb/recvauth.c.
    CVE-2015-2694
    The kdcpreauth modules in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.12.x and 1.13.x
    before 1.13.2 do not properly track whether a client's request has
    been validated, which allows remote attackers to bypass an intended
    preauthentication requirement by providing (1) zero bytes of data or
    (2) an arbitrary realm name, related to plugins/preauth/otp/main.c and
    plugins/preauth/pkinit/pkinit_srv.c.
    Fixed bugs:
    * Previously, the RADIUS support (libkrad) in krb5 was sending krb5 authentication for Transmission
    Control Protocol (TCP) transports multiple times, accidentally using a code path intended to be used only
    for unreliable transport types, for example User Datagram Protocol (UDP) transports. A patch that fixes
    the problem by disabling manual retries for reliable transports, such as TCP, has been applied, and the
    correct code path is now used in this situation.
    * Attempts to use Kerberos single sign-on (SSO) to access SAP NetWeaver systems sometimes failed. The SAP
    NetWeaver developer trace displayed the following error message:

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.
