  It was found that kadmind's kpasswd service did not perform any validation
  on incoming network packets, causing it to reply to all requests. A remote
  attacker could use this flaw to send spoofed packets to a kpasswd
  service that appear to come from kadmind on a different server, causing the
  services to keep replying packets to each other, consuming network
  bandwidth and CPU. (CVE-2002-2443)

  All krb5 users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a
  backported patch to correct this issue. After installing the updated
  packages, the krb5kdc and kadmind daemons will be restarted automatically.");
