krb5 auf h01, h02, h03, h04, cupa und wasco aktualisiert.

changelog:
krb5 (1.3.6-2sarge4) stable-security; urgency=emergency
* MIT-SA-2007-1: telnet allows login as an arbitrary user when
presented with a specially crafted username; CVE-2007-0956
* krb5_klog_syslog has a trivial buffer overflow that can be exploited
by network data; CVE-2007-0957. The upstream patch is very intrusive
because it fixes each call to syslog to have proper length checking as
well as the actual krb5_klog_syslog internals to use vsnprintf rather
than vsprintf. I have chosen to only include the change to
krb5_klog_syslog for sarge. This is sufficient to fix the problem but
is much smaller and less intrusive. (MIT-SA-2007-2)
* MIT-SA-2007-3: The GSS-API library can cause a double free if
applications treat certain errors decoding a message as errors that
require freeing the output buffer. At least the gssapi rpc library
does this, so kadmind is vulnerable. Fix the gssapi library because
the spec allows applications to treat errors this way. CVE-2007-1216
