"It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2025-1173 advisory.

    krb5: overflow when calculating ulog block size (CVE-2025-24528)

    A vulnerability in the MIT Kerberos implementation allows GSSAPI-protected messages using RC4-HMAC-MD5 to
    be spoofed due to weaknesses in the MD5 checksum design. If RC4 is preferred over stronger encryption
    types, an attacker could exploit MD5 collisions to forge message integrity codes. This may lead to
    unauthorized message tampering. (CVE-2025-3576)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
