Description

Buffer overflow in MIT Kerberos 5 (krb5) 1.2.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via base-64 encoded data, which is not properly handled when the radix_encode function processes file glob output from the ftpglob function.
