"The version of Samba installed on the remote host is 4.21.x prior to 4.21.6, or 4.22.x prior to 4.22.2. It is, therefore,
affected by a security bypass vulnerability. A flaw exists with smbd when using Kerberos authentication with smb, due to
using the cached user group permissions when re-authenticating. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, to
continue accessing a user group after being removed.

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