    Package        : krb5     CVE ID         : CVE-2024-37370 CVE-2024-37371

    Two vulnerabilities were discovered in the GSS message token handling in     krb5, the MIT implementation of Kerberos. An attacker can take advantage     of these flaws to bypass integrity protections or cause a denial of     service.

    For the oldstable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed     in version 1.18.3-6+deb11u5.

    For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in     version 1.20.1-2+deb12u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your krb5 packages.

    For the detailed security status of krb5 please refer to its security     tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/krb5
