System: Linux blade.bos.redhat.com 2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Dec 21 05:33:33 UTC 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Architecture: x86_64
>Description:
Bert Barbé noted, on kerberos@, that krb5_get_init_creds_password(),
if it was dealing with an expired key, could try to dereference its
"options" argument to read flags before checking that "options"
wasn't NULL.
>Fix:
This patch creates an krb5_gic_opt_ext structure using the passed-in
options value, which ensures that when we go to check the flags, we
get the library defaults if we were passed NULL.
