Security database references:

In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2015-7762, CVE-2015-7763.

More information:

John Stumpo discovered that OpenAFS, a distributed file system, does not fully initialize certain network packets before transmitting them. This can lead to a disclosure of the plaintext of previously processed packets.

For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 1.6.1-3+deb7u5.

For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in version 1.6.9-2+deb8u4.

For the testing distribution (stretch) and the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 1.6.15-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your openafs packages.
