Fix KDC null deref on bad encrypted challenge
The function ec_verify() in src/kdc/kdc_preauth_ec.c contains a check
to avoid further processing if the armor key is NULL. However, this
check is bypassed by a call to k5memdup0() which overwrites retval
with 0 if the allocation succeeds. If the armor key is NULL, a call
to krb5_c_fx_cf2_simple() will then dereference it, resulting in a
crash. Add a check before the k5memdup0() call to avoid overwriting
retval.
CVE-2021-36222:
In MIT krb5 releases 1.16 and later, an unauthenticated attacker can
cause a null dereference in the KDC by sending a request containing a
PA-ENCRYPTED-CHALLENGE padata element without using FAST.
