"According to the versions of the krb5 packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the
following vulnerabilities :

    In MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) before 1.22.3, there is a NULL pointer dereference if an application calls
    gss_accept_sec_context() on a system with a NegoEx mechanism registered in /etc/gss/mech. An
    unauthenticated remote attacker can trigger this, causing the process to terminate in
    parse_nego_message.(CVE-2026-40355)

    In MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) before 1.22.3, there is an integer underflow and resultant out-of-bounds read
    if an application calls gss_accept_sec_context() on a system with a NegoEx mechanism registered in
    /etc/gss/mech. An unauthenticated remote attacker can trigger this, possibly causing the process to
    terminate in parse_message.(CVE-2026-40356)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS krb5 security advisory.

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