Package : heimdal
CVE ID : CVE-2022-45142
Debian Bug : 1030849

Helmut Grohne discovered a flaw in Heimdal, an implementation of
Kerberos 5 that aims to be compatible with MIT Kerberos. The backports
of fixes for CVE-2022-3437 accidentally inverted important memory
comparisons in the arcfour-hmac-md5 and rc4-hmac integrity check
handlers for gssapi, resulting in incorrect validation of message
integrity codes.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in
version 7.7.0+dfsg-2+deb11u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your heimdal packages.
