[Bug 571572] Re: krb5 prefers the reverse pointer no matter what for locating service tickets.

[Nathan Rosenblum]

[Replying from a duplicating issue:]

This affects any system using MIT's Kerberos in the 1.10 series prior to
1.10.2-final. To the best of my knowledge, no 1.11 series releases were
affected by this issue, and 1.9 remains affected. The upstream patch [1]
applies cleanly against the Ubuntu 12.04 krb5-1.10+dfsg~beta1 source
package, with which I've successfully built and deployed my own
packages.

I believe that all Ubuntu versions from Precise through Saucy are
affected, though maybe some of the later variants (I have only looked
into Precise) have a glibc that fixes the underlying issue. There is no
harm in applying both the workaround here and the glibc fix.
