Description of changes:

Following security fixes are released in this errata:

CVE-2009-0844 <http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-0844>
  The get_input_token function in the SPNEGO implementation in MIT 
Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.5 through 1.6.3 allows remote attackers to cause 
a denial of    service (daemon crash) and possibly obtain sensitive 
information via a crafted length value that triggers a buffer over-read.

CVE-2009-0845 <http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-0845>
 The spnego_gss_accept_sec_context function in 
lib/gssapi/spnego/spnego_mech.c in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.5 through 
1.6.3, when SPNEGO is used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of 
service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via invalid 
ContextFlags data in the reqFlags field in a negTokenInit token.

CVE-2009-0846 <http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-0846>
 The asn1_decode_generaltime function in lib/krb5/asn.1/asn1_decode.c in 
the ASN.1 GeneralizedTime decoder in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) before 
1.6.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon 
crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors involving an 
invalid DER encoding that triggers a free of an uninitialized pointer.

[1.6.1-30.el5_3]
- backport fix from 1.6.3 to register file-based ccaches created with
