Updated openafs packages fix security vulnerabilies
Updated openafs packages fix security vulnerabilities:
Buffer overflow in the GetStatistics64 remote procedure call (RPC) in OpenAFS before 1.6.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted statsVersion argument (CVE-2014-0159).
OpenAFS before 1.6.7 delays the listen thread when an RXS_CheckResponse fails, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (performance degradation) via an invalid packet (CVE-2014-2852).
OpenAFS 1.6.8 does not properly clear the fields in the host structure, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (uninitialized memory access and crash) via unspecified vectors related to TMAY requests (CVE-2014-4044).
The OpenAFS package has been updated to version 1.6.10, fixing these issues and other bugs, as well as providing support for newer kernel versions.
