An integer overflow bug has been discovered in the RPC library used by the OpenAFS database server, which is derived from the SunRPC library. This bug could be exploited to crash certain OpenAFS servers (volserver, vlserver, ptserver, buserver) or to obtain unauthorized root access to a host running one of these processes. No exploits are known to exist yet.

Package        : openafs
Vulnerability  : integer overflow
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no

An integer overflow bug has been discovered in the RPC library used by
the OpenAFS database server, which is derived from the SunRPC library.
This bug could be exploited to crash certain OpenAFS servers
(volserver, vlserver, ptserver, buserver) or to obtain unauthorized
root access to a host running one of these processes.  No exploits are
known to exist yet.

This problem has been fixed in version 1.2.3final2-6 for the current
stable distribution (woody) and in version 1.2.6-1 for the unstable
distribution (sid).  Debian 2.2 (potato) is not affected since it
doesn't contain OpenAFS packages.

We recommend that you upgrade your openafs packages.

wget url
	will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
        will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
        will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
        will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.


Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 alias woody
- --------------------------------

OpenAFS is only available for the architectures alpha, i386, powerpc,
s390, sparc.  Hence, we only provide fixed packages for these
architectures.
