>Description:

When using rlm_krb5 to check passwords inside an EAP-TTLS tunnel, if a
user attempts to authenticate using an incorrect password, the server
crashes.  This happens whether or not rlm_krb5 is compiled with
KRB5_IS_THREAD_SAFE.

Apparently the rlm_krb5 code was never properly tested with MIT
Kerberos, and is missing a goto for error recovery (which is present
in the Heimdal version of the code, in the other branch of the giant
#ifdef block).

>How-To-Repeat:

Configure rlm_krb5 so that it works when password is correct, then
supply an incorrect password.

>Fix:

I added this patch to the port.  Unfortunately the freeradius bug
tracker requires an account, and their mailing-list server is
unreachable.
