"The version of heimdal installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore,
affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2022-45142 advisory.

  - The fix for CVE-2022-3437 included changing memcmp to be constant time and a workaround for a compiler bug
    by adding != 0 comparisons to the result of memcmp. When these patches were backported to the
    heimdal-7.7.1 and heimdal-7.8.0 branches (and possibly other branches) a logic inversion sneaked in
    causing the validation of message integrity codes in gssapi/arcfour to be inverted. (CVE-2022-45142)

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