Discussion

OpenAFS CVE-2013-1794 Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

OpenAFS is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data before copying it into a fixed-length buffer.

An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application. Failed exploit attempts will likely crash the application.

Versions prior to OpenAFS 1.6.2 are vulnerable.
