The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5205 advisory.

    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in Samba, a SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix.
    CVE-2022-2031 Luke Howard reported that Samba AD users can bypass certain restrictions associated with     changing passwords. A user who has been requested to change their password can exploit this to obtain and     use tickets to other services. CVE-2022-32742 Luca Moro reported that a SMB1 client with write access to a     share can cause server memory content to be leaked. CVE-2022-32744 Joseph Sutton reported that Samba AD     users can forge password change requests for any user, resulting in privilege escalation. CVE-2022-32745     Joseph Sutton reported that Samba AD users can crash the server process with a specially crafted LDAP add     or modify request. CVE-2022-32746 Joseph Sutton and Andrew Bartlett reported that Samba AD users can cause     a use-after-free in the server process with a specially crafted LDAP add or modify request. For the stable     distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 2:4.13.13+dfsg-1~deb11u5. The fix for     CVE-2022-32745 required an update to ldb 2:2.2.3-2~deb11u2 to correct the defect. We recommend that you     upgrade your samba packages. For the detailed security status of samba please refer to its security     tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/samba
