This is now just a case of syncing from debian, the current ubuntu delta
is fixed there. I will re-name the bug appropriately

Title:
  Please update krb5 to new upstream release >=1.10.2

Status in “krb5” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “krb5” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  There is a bug within eglibc [1] and [2] which breaks kerberos
  authentication functionality for ssh-servers behind NAT gateways as
  glibc does a rDNS cannonicalization of hostnames even if you specify
  "rdns=false" in krb5.conf.

  There is a workaround implemented in MIT krb5 v. 1.10.2. [3].
  The current maintenance release is 1.10.3.

  As the bug is still not fixed in eglibc, krb5 should be updated to at
  least 1.10.3 to fix this issue.
