Assigning to the registered heimdal maintainer.

I think the link and CVE are wrong, though, so changing them where I can, because of:

Advisory:
========================

Updated heimdal packages fix security vulnerability:

Michael Eder and Thomas Kittel discovered that Heimdal did not correctly handle
ASN.1 data. This would allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to cause a
denial of service (crash of the KDC daemon) by sending maliciously crafted
packets (CVE-2017-17439).
