krb5 bug fix update

Updated krb5 packages that fix a bug are now available.

Kerberos is a network authentication system. The krb5 packages include
libraries, a dialog, server programs, and basic client programs that enable
Kerberos to function.

The krb5_parse_name() function is used to convert the string representation
of a Kerberos principal name into a krb5_principal structure. When the
string representation of a user's principal did not explicitly include a
realm name, krb5_parse_name() used the name of the system's default realm,
even if the calling application had previously used the
krb5_set_default_realm() function to override this value. This bug made it
more difficult for applications such as pam_krb5 to support authenticating
to realms other than the system's default.

Users of krb5 should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve this
issue.

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
