The GetStatistics64 remote procedure call (RPC) was introduced in OpenAFS 1.4.8 as part of the support for fileserver partitions larger than 2 TiB. The GetStatistics64 RPC is used by remote administrative programs to retrieve statistical information about fileservers. The GetStatistics64 RPC requests do not require authentication. A bug has been discovered in the GetStatistics64 RPC which can trigger a fileserver crash. The version argument of the GetStatistics64 RPC is used to determine how much memory is allocated for the RPC reply. However the range of this argument is not validated, allowing an attacker to cause insufficient memory to be allocated for the statistical information reply buffer. Clients are not affected. -- SL 5.x SRPMS: openafs.SLx-1.4.15-84.src.rpm i386: kernel-module-openafs-2.6.18-348.21.1.el5-1.4.15-84.sl5.i686.rpm kernel-module-openafs-2.6.18-348.21.1.el5PAE-1.4.15-84.sl5.i686.rpm kernel-module-openafs-2.6.18-348.21.1.el5xen-1.4.15-84.sl5.i686.rpm openafs-1.4.15-84.sl5.i386.rpm openafs-authlibs-1.4.15-84.sl5.i386.rpm openafs-authlibs-devel-1.4.15-84.sl5.i386.rpm openafs-client-1.4.15-84.sl5.i386.rpm openafs-compat-1.4.15-84.sl5.i386.rpm openafs-debug-1.4.15-84.sl5.i386.rpm openafs-devel-1.4.15-84.sl5.i386.rpm openafs-kernel-source-1.4.15-84.sl5.i386.rpm openafs-kpasswd-1.4.15-84.sl5.i386.rpm openafs-krb5-1.4.15-84.sl5.i386.rpm openafs-server-1.4.15-84.sl5.i386.rpm x86_64: kernel-module-openafs-2.6.18-348.21.1.el5-1.4.15-84.sl5.x86_64.rpm kernel-module-openafs-2.6.18-348.21.1.el5xen-1.4.15-84.sl5.x86_64.rpm openafs-1.4.15-84.sl5.x86_64.rpm openafs-authlibs-1.4.15-84.sl5.x86_64.rpm openafs-authlibs-devel-1.4.15-84.sl5.x86_64.rpm openafs-client-1.4.15-84.sl5.x86_64.rpm openafs-compat-1.4.15-84.sl5.x86_64.rpm openafs-debug-1.4.15-84.sl5.x86_64.rpm openafs-devel-1.4.15-84.sl5.x86_64.rpm openafs-kernel-source-1.4.15-84.sl5.x86_64.rpm openafs-kpasswd-1.4.15-84.sl5.x86_64.rpm openafs-krb5-1.4.15-84.sl5.x86_64.rpm openafs-server-1.4.15-84.sl5.x86_64.rpm SL6.x SRPMS: openafs.SLx-1.6.5.1-148.src.rpm i386: kmod-openafs-431-1.6.5.1-148.sl6.431.11.2.i686.rpm openafs-1.6.5.1-148.sl6.i686.rpm openafs-authlibs-1.6.5.1-148.sl6.i686.rpm openafs-authlibs-devel-1.6.5.1-148.sl6.i686.rpm openafs-client-1.6.5.1-148.sl6.i686.rpm openafs-compat-1.6.5.1-148.sl6.i686.rpm openafs-devel-1.6.5.1-148.sl6.i686.rpm openafs-kernel-source-1.6.5.1-148.sl6.i686.rpm openafs-kpasswd-1.6.5.1-148.sl6.i686.rpm openafs-krb5-1.6.5.1-148.sl6.i686.rpm openafs-module-tools-1.6.5.1-148.sl6.i686.rpm openafs-plumbing-tools-1.6.5.1-148.sl6.i686.rpm openafs-server-1.6.5.1-148.sl6.i686.rpm x86_64: kmod-openafs-431-1.6.5.1-148.sl6.431.11.2.x86_64.rpm openafs-1.6.5.1-148.sl6.x86_64.rpm openafs-authlibs-1.6.5.1-148.sl6.x86_64.rpm openafs-authlibs-devel-1.6.5.1-148.sl6.x86_64.rpm openafs-client-1.6.5.1-148.sl6.x86_64.rpm openafs-compat-1.6.5.1-148.sl6.x86_64.rpm openafs-devel-1.6.5.1-148.sl6.x86_64.rpm openafs-kernel-source-1.6.5.1-148.sl6.x86_64.rpm openafs-kpasswd-1.6.5.1-148.sl6.x86_64.rpm openafs-krb5-1.6.5.1-148.sl6.x86_64.rpm openafs-module-tools-1.6.5.1-148.sl6.x86_64.rpm openafs-plumbing-tools-1.6.5.1-148.sl6.x86_64.rpm openafs-server-1.6.5.1-148.sl6.x86_64.rpm
