Multiple buffer overflows were discovered in OpenAFS, the implementation of the distributed filesystem AFS, which might result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code. Further information is available at http://www.openafs.org/security .

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 1.4.12.1+dfsg-4+squeeze1. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.6.1-3. We recommend that you upgrade your openafs packages.

AFS is a distributed filesystem allowing cross-platform sharing of files among multiple computers.
