I'm developing a security product based upon Kerberos 5 Beta 5, and 
whilst testing the port found what appears to be a glaring bug in

src/lib/krb5/os/mk_faddr.c

The first malloc in krb5_make_fulladr gets a buffer which is too small 
for what it is about to put in it. Surely the line should read : 

if(!raddr->contents = (krb5_octet*) malloc(raddr->length)))

Is there a list of previously reported bugs in the Kerberos distributions 
which I could look up??

regards

Dave Clarke
