"...
The patch for CVE-2007-3999 has been revised; the patch originally
released for svc_auth_gss.c allowed a 32-byte overflow.  Depending
on the compilation environment and machine architecture, this may or
may not be a significant continued vulnerability.  The new patch
below correctly checks the buffer length.
