Description Alexander Bergmann 2018-09-12 10:21:28 UTC 
CVE-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.
