A Denial of Service vulnerability has been discovered in OpenAFS.
| Package | net-fs/openafs on all architectures |
|---|---|
| Affected versions | < 1.4.6 |
| Unaffected versions | >= 1.4.6 |
OpenAFS is a distributed network filesystem.
Russ Allbery, Jeffrey Altman, Dan Hyde and Thomas Mueller discovered a race condition due to an improper handling of the clients callbacks lists.
A remote attacker could construct cases which trigger the race condition, resulting in a server crash.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All OpenAFS users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-fs/openafs-1.4.6"
