The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.04 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6467-2 advisory.

USN-6467-1 fixed a vulnerability in Kerberos. This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu     20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 23.04.

Original advisory details:

Robert Morris discovered that Kerberos did not properly handle memory

access when processing RPC data through kadmind, which could lead to the

freeing of uninitialized memory. An authenticated remote attacker could

possibly use this issue to cause kadmind to crash, resulting in a denial

of service.

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

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