 Package : openafs CVE ID : CVE-2024-10394 CVE-2024-10396 CVE-2024-10397 Debian Bug : 1087406 1087407

 Several vulnerabilities were discovered in OpenAFS, an implementation of the AFS distributed filesystem, which may result in theft of credentials in Unix client PAGs (CVE-2024-10394), fileserver crashes and information leak on StoreACL/FetchACL (CVE-2024-10396) or buffer overflows in XDR responses resulting in denial of service and potentially code execution (CVE-2024-10397).

 For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in version 1.8.9-1+deb12u1.

 We recommend that you upgrade your openafs packages.

 For the detailed security status of openafs please refer to its security tracker page at:

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution
