[Bug 1830441] [NEW] libkrb5-3 1.16.2 can crash client programs

[Mitchell Sternke]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu Release: 18.04.2 LTS
Package: libkrb5-3 1.16.2

The libkrb5-3 package (MIT Kerberos library) shipped with Ubuntu 18.04.2 has a known bug which can cause a program using the library to crash when using MEMORY ccaches. This was introduced as a regression in version 1.16.2 of the MIT kerberos library, and fixed in 1.16.3.
Regression ticket: https://krbdev.mit.edu/rt/Ticket/Display.html?id=8771
Release notes for 1.16.3 (see "Fix a regression"): https://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-1.16/

Can the libkrb5-3 package be updated to version 1.16.3 for the Ubuntu
18.04 release series? We have software (not part of Ubuntu) that uses
MEMORY ccaches extensively and it is impacted by this bug.
