CVE-2017-17432 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Debian:12 openafs to version 1.6.22-1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openafs package and not the openafs package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.
OpenAFS 1.x before 1.6.22 does not properly validate Rx ack packets, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash or application crash) via crafted fields, as demonstrated by an integer underflow and assertion failure for a small MTU value.
