announced via advisory DSA 1458-1.
Solution

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 stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 1.4.2-6etch1
For the old stable distribution (sarge), this problem has been fixed in version 1.3.81-3sarge3
We recommend that you upgrade your openafs packages.
