    descriptionTwo vulnerabilities were discovered in openafs, an implementation of the distributed filesystem AFS. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems : - CVE-2015-8312 Potential denial of service caused by a bug in the pioctl logic allowing a local user to overrun a kernel buffer with a single NUL byte. - CVE-2016-2860 Peter Iannucci discovered that users from foreign Kerberos realms can create groups as if they were administrators.
