How to fix?

Upgrade Oracle:7 krb5-devel to version 0:1.13.2-10.el7 or higher.
This issue was patched in ELSA-2015-2154.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream krb5-devel package and not the krb5-devel package as distributed by Oracle:7. See How to fix? for Oracle:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) through 1.13.1 incorrectly expects that a krb5_read_message data field is represented as a string ending with a '\0' character, which allows remote attackers to (1) cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via a zero-byte version string or (2) cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) by omitting the '\0' character, related to appl/user_user/server.c and lib/krb5/krb/recvauth.c.
