Upgrade Centos:6 krb5-workstation to version 0:1.10.3-10.el6_4.2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream krb5-workstation package and not the krb5-workstation package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The prep_reprocess_req function in do_tgs_req.c in the Key Distribution Center (KDC) in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) before 1.10.5 does not properly perform service-principal realm referral, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via a crafted TGS-REQ request.
