Subject: [PATCH] Avoid use after free during libkrad cleanup

libkrad client requests contain a list of references to remotes, with

no back-references or reference counts.  To prevent accesses to

dangling references during cleanup, cancel all requests on all remotes

before freeing any remotes.

Remove the code for aging out unused servers.  This code was fairly

safe as all requests referencing a remote should have completed or

timed out during an hour of disuse, but in the current design we have

no way to guarantee or check that.  The set of addresses we send

RADIUS requests to will generally be small, so aging out servers is

unnecessary.

ticket: 9035 (new)
