decode_sequence_of() in lib/krb5/asn.1/asn1_encode.c in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.11 and later grows the decoded element array one entry at a time, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption in the KDC) by sending an unauthenticated AS-REQ or TGS-REQ with a large number of elements in a SEQUENCE OF field over TCP.
