Description:

This update for krb5 fixes a few memory leaks:

  • If the system runs out of memory, gssint_convert_name_to_union_name() did not set the output error status and potentially caused callers to misbehave.
  • Function gss_accept_sec_context() calculated the display name from return value of gssint_convert_name_to_union_name(), however it did not always release the name.
