CVE-2009-1251: Buffer Overflow
First published: Thu Apr 09 2009(Updated: )
Heap-based buffer overflow in the cache manager in the client in OpenAFS 1.0 through 1.4.8 and 1.5.0 through 1.5.58 on Unix platforms allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via an RX response containing more data than specified in a request, related to use of XDR arrays.
