CVE: CVE-2007-1216

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
===============
This bug was found while exercising the GSS-API library using the
GSSTEST test program provided by SAP AG.
DETAILS
=======
The kg_unseal_v1() function in src/lib/gssapi/krb5/k5unseal.c frees
memory allocated for the "message_buffer" gss_buffer_t when it detects
an invalid direction encoding on the message. It does not set the
pointer to NULL, nor does it set the length to zero. An application
subsequently calling gss_release_buffer() on this gss_buffer_t will
cause memory to be freed twice.
Much code provided with MIT krb5 does not attempt to call
gss_release_buffer() when gss_unseal() or gss_unwrap() fails, even
though the GSS-API C-bindings specification permits it to do so. The
RPCSEC_GSS authentication flavor for the RPC library, introduced in
krb5-1.4, does call gss_release_buffer() when gss_unwrap() fails.
This allows an authenticated attacker to trigger a double-free
situation.
Third-party applications calling the RPC library provided with MIT
krb5 and using the RPCSEC_GSS authentication flavor are vulnerable.
Third-party applications calling the MIT GSS-API library are
vulnerable if they call gss_release_buffer() when they experience
errors from gss_unseal() or gss_unwrap().
