Red Hat Security Advisory 2013-0656-01 - Kerberos is a network authentication system which allows clients and servers to authenticate to each other using symmetric encryption and a trusted third-party, the Key Distribution Center. When a client attempts to use PKINIT to obtain credentials from the KDC, the client can specify, using an issuer and serial number, which of the KDC's possibly-many certificates the client has in its possession, as a hint to the KDC that it should use the corresponding key to sign its response. If that specification was malformed, the KDC could attempt to dereference a NULL pointer and crash.
