Package : heimdal
Version : 7.5.0+dfsg-3+deb10u2
CVE ID : CVE-2022-45142
Debian Bug : #1030849

I discovered a flaw in Heimdal, an implementation of Kerberos 5 that
aims to be compatible with MIT Kerberos. The backports of fixes for
CVE-2022-3437 accidentally inverted important memory comparisons in the
arcfour-hmac-md5 and rc4-hmac integrity check handlers for gssapi,
resulting in incorrect validation of message integrity codes.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version
7.5.0+dfsg-3+deb10u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your heimdal packages.
