Description

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 7.02, has krb5 packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - In MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) before 1.21.3, an attacker can cause invalid memory reads during GSS message token handling by sending message tokens with invalid length fields. (CVE-2024-37371)

 - Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.21.2 contains a memory leak vulnerability in /krb5/src/lib/gssapi/krb5/k5sealv3.c.
