The process_chpw_request function in schpw.c in the password-changing
functionality in kadmind in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.7 through 1.9 frees
an invalid pointer, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code
or cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a crafted request that
triggers an error condition.
