Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2013-1794 is a buffer overflow in some OpenAFS client utilities before 1.6.2. An authenticated remote user could create an unusually long fileserver ACL entry that may crash the utility and possibly run code. Business risk depends on whether OpenAFS clients process ACLs from users or cells you do not fully trust. Exposure is likely limited to environments running OpenAFS client utilities earlier than 1.6.2, especially where authenticated remote users can influence fileserver ACL entries processed by those utilities. Treat this as high priority where OpenAFS is deployed, because possible code execution is in scope. If OpenAFS is absent, business exposure is minimal. The most practical action is inventory plus vendor-supported upgrade. Mitigation focus: Upgrade OpenAFS clients to 1.6.2 or later where applicable.; Apply fixed distribution packages from Debian, Mandriva, or your OS vendor.; Review the OpenAFS advisory for the exact affected utilities..
