1. Summary:
An update for krb5 is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.
Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact
of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which
gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from

3. Description:
Kerberos is a network authentication system, which can improve the security
of your network by eliminating the insecure practice of sending passwords
over the network in unencrypted form. It allows clients and servers to
authenticate to each other with the help of a trusted third party, the
Kerberos key distribution center (KDC).
Security Fix(es):
* krb5: unbounded recursion via an ASN.1-encoded Kerberos message in
lib/krb5/asn.1/asn1_encode.c may lead to DoS (CVE-2020-28196)
For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS
