NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream krb5 package and not the krb5 package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.
Double free vulnerability in the krb5_def_store_mkey function in lib/kdb/kdb_default.c in MIT Kerberos 5 (krb5) 1.5 has unknown impact and remote authenticated attack vectors. NOTE: the free operations occur in code that stores the krb5kdc master key, and so the attacker must have privileges to store this key.
