krb5 1.15 beta1 is out, and has support for openssl 1.1. It is tempting to fix this bug by taking the new upstream version instead of having to backport a somewhat invasive patchset. However, trying to use krb5 1.15 for the fix would give a somewhat tight timeline in order to get something fixed in stretch with a non-beta upstream version.
I believe that the soname of the libkadm5{src,clnt} libraries has been bumped, which might necessitate a transition to take a new krb5, which is unfortunate. -Ben
