Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2021.0509
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2021-0509)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'openafs' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2021-0509 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'openafs' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2021-0509 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Openafs packages have been updated to 1.9.1 for various bugfixes,
and added a fix for security vulnerability:

There exist in the wild AFS3 clients that improperly construct access
control lists which are then stored to directories via RXAFS_StoreACL
(opcode 134). These clients add negative access control entries (if any)
to the normal rights list. As there is no method by which a fileserver
can determine that the ACL is improperly constructed, the only method
to defend the storage of broken ACLs is to identify clients that are
known to properly construct ACLs by introducing a new RXAFS_StoreACL
opcode (164) (CVE-2018-7168).

Additionally the CellServDB has been updated to latest version and
fixes for suppoorting kernel 5.14 and 5.15 series have been added.

Affected Software/OS:
'openafs' package(s) on Mageia 8.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
5.0
