Ticket History #5873: kdb5_util/kdb5_ldap_util can core when krb5.conf is misconfigured

With a krb5.conf looking like this:

[libdefaults]
default_realm = ACME.COM

[realms]
ACME.COM = {
kdc = pop.czech.sun.com
admin_server = pop.czech.sun.com


[domain_realm]
.com = ACME.COM

[logging]
kdc = FILE:/var/log/krb5kdc.log
admin_server = FILE:/var/log/kadmin.log
default = FILE:/var/log/krb5lib.log

I see this:

mit# /usr/local/sbin/kdb5_util dump
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) /usr/local/sbin/kdb5_util dump

The root cause is that "progname" is being used before it is initialized:

from kdb5_util.c:

...
retval = kadm5_init_krb5_context(&util_context);
if (retval) {
com_err (progname, retval, "while initializing Kerberos code");
exit(1);
}

/* initialize_adb_error_table(); */

progname = (strrchr(argv[0], '/') ? strrchr(argv[0], '/')+1 : argv[0]);



progname should be initialized before it can be used by com_err().

An identical problem exists for krb5_ldap_util. See attached tarball for
diffs.
