    CVE-2026-112320

    The GSS-RPC transport layer in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.4 and later does not release the previous authentication context when a client switches from an RPCSEC_GSS or AUTH_GSSAPI flavor to a non-GSS flavor on the same TCP connection. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion in kadmind) by repeatedly establishing and abandoning GSS authentication contexts.
