+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Two vulnerabilities were discovered:
+ </p>
+ <ul><li>
+ Simon Wilkinson discovered from a bug report by Toby Blake that the
+ cache manager of OpenAFS contains a heap-based buffer overflow which is
+ related to the use of the ERR_PTR macro (CVE-2009-1250).</li>
+ <li>A
+ pointer dereference bug when using XDR arrays was discovered by Simon
+ Wilkinson, with assistance from Derrick Brashear and Jeffrey Altman.
+ (CVE-2009-1251).</li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ The vulnerabilities might allow remote unauthenticated attackers to
+ cause a Denial of Service (system crash) and possibly execute arbitrary
+ code.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All OpenAFS users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-fs/openafs-1.4.9"</code>
