Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2017.0037
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2017-0037)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'openafs' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2017-0037 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'openafs' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2017-0037 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Due to incomplete initialization or clearing of reused memory, OpenAFS
directory objects are likely to contain 'dead' directory entry
information. This extraneous information is not active - that is, it is
logically invisible to the fileserver and client. However, the leaked
information is physically visible on the fileserver vice partition, on
the wire in FetchData replies and other RPCs, and on the client cache
partition. This constitutes a leak of directory information
(CVE-2016-9772).

The openafs package has been updated to version 1.6.20, to fix this
issue and other bugs.

Affected Software/OS:
'openafs' package(s) on Mageia 5.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
5.0

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
