Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.60135
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-1458-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'openafs' package(s) announced via the DSA-1458-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'openafs' package(s) announced via the DSA-1458-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
A race condition in the OpenAFS fileserver allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) by simultaneously acquiring and giving back file callbacks, which causes the handler for the GiveUpAllCallBacks RPC to perform linked-list operations without the host_glock lock.

For the old stable distribution (sarge), this problem has been fixed in version 1.3.81-3sarge3.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 1.4.2-6etch1.

We recommend that you upgrade your openafs packages.

Affected Software/OS:
'openafs' package(s) on Debian 3.1, Debian 4.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
4.3
