Fix leak in RPC client on mismatched ID
In clnttcp_call(), before decoding a reply, free the verifier in
reply_msg if one was allocated when decoding a previous reply.
[ghudson@mit.edu: moved ar_verf/ar_results setting back outside of
conditional; switched to using xdr_free() for brevity]
CVE-2026-112314:
clnttcp_call() in lib/rpc/clnt_tcp.c in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) does
not free the RPC reply verifier between retries, which allows remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (memory leak in GSS-RPC client
programs) by injecting RPC replies with mismatched XIDs or by
triggering authentication retries.
