Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in OpenAFS, worst of which can
allow attackers to execute arbitrary code

Background
==========
OpenAFS is an client-server program suite for federated file sharing
and replicated content distribution.

Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Impact

Additionally, an attacker could compromise a cell's private key,
allowing them to impersonate any user in the cell.

Workaround
