More information:

Jeffrey Altman, Viktor Duchovni and Nico Williams identified a mutual authentication bypass vulnerability in Heimdal Kerberos. Also known as Orpheus' Lyre, this vulnerability could be used by an attacker to mount a service impersonation attack on the client if he's on the network path between the client and the service.

More details can be found on the vulnerability website (https://orpheus-lyre.info/).
