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:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

The vlserver in OpenAFS before 1.6.13 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and crash) via a crafted regular expression in a VL_ListAttributesN2 RPC.
