Check for the version of the heimdal package

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test

The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory SUSE-SA:2005:040 (heimdal).


A remote buffer overflow has been fixed in the heimdal / kerberos
telnetd daemon which could lead to a remote user executing code as
root by overflowing a buffer.

This attack requires the use of the kerberized telnetd of the heimdal
suite, which is not used by default on SUSE systems.
