Fileserver crash and possible information leak on StoreACL/FetchACL
An authenticated user can provide a malformed ACL to the fileserver's StoreACL RPC, causing the fileserver to crash, possibly expose uninitialized memory, and possibly store garbage data in the audit log. Malformed ACLs provided in responses to client FetchACL RPCs can cause client processes to crash and possibly expose uninitialized memory into other ACLs stored on the server.
Published UpdatedTheft of credentials in Unix client PAGs
A local user can bypass the OpenAFS PAG (Process Authentication Group) throttling mechanism in Unix clients, allowing the user to create a PAG using an existing id number, effectively joining the PAG and letting the user steal the credentials in that PAG.
Published UpdatedCVE-2019-18602
OpenAFS before 1.6.24 and 1.8.x before 1.8.5 is prone to an information disclosure vulnerability because uninitialized scalars are sent over the network to a peer.
Published UpdatedCVE-2019-18603
OpenAFS before 1.6.24 and 1.8.x before 1.8.5 is prone to information leakage upon certain error conditions because uninitialized RPC output variables are sent over the network to a peer.
Published UpdatedCVE-2019-18601
OpenAFS before 1.6.24 and 1.8.x before 1.8.5 is prone to denial of service from unserialized data access because remote attackers can make a series of VOTE_Debug RPC calls to crash a database server within the SVOTE_Debug RPC handler.
Published UpdatedCVE-2018-16949
An issue was discovered in OpenAFS before 1.6.23 and 1.8.x before 1.8.2. Several data types used as RPC input variables were implemented as unbounded array types, limited only by the inherent 32-bit length field to 4 GB. An unauthenticated attacker could send, or claim to send, large input values and consume server resources waiting for those inputs, denying service to other valid connections.
Published UpdatedCVE-2018-16948
An issue was discovered in OpenAFS before 1.6.23 and 1.8.x before 1.8.2. Several RPC server routines did not fully initialize their output variables before returning, leaking memory contents from both the stack and the heap. Because the OpenAFS cache manager functions as an Rx server for the AFSCB service, clients are also susceptible to information leakage. For example, RXAFSCB_TellMeAboutYourself leaks kernel memory and KAM_ListEntry leaks kaserver memory.
Published UpdatedCVE-2018-16947
An issue was discovered in OpenAFS before 1.6.23 and 1.8.x before 1.8.2. The backup tape controller (butc) process accepts incoming RPCs but does not require (or allow for) authentication of those RPCs. Handling those RPCs results in operations being performed with administrator credentials, including dumping/restoring volume contents and manipulating the backup database. For example, an unauthenticated attacker can replace any volume's content with arbitrary data.
