Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
afs: Fix corruption in reads at fpos 2G-4G from an OpenAFS server
AFS-3 has two data fetch RPC variants, FS.FetchData and FS.FetchData64, and
Linux's afs client switches between them when talking to a non-YFS server
if the read size, the file position or the sum of the two have the upper 32
bits set of the 64-bit value.
This is a problem, however, since the file position and length fields of
FS.FetchData are *signed* 32-bit values.
Fix this by capturing the capability bits obtained from the fileserver when
it's sent an FS.GetCapabilities RPC, rather than just discarding them, and
then picking out the VICED_CAPABILITY_64BITFILES flag. This can then be
used to decide whether to use FS.FetchData or FS.FetchData64 - and also
FS.StoreData or FS.StoreData64 - rather than using upper_32_bits() to
switch on the parameter values.
This capabilities flag could also be used to limit the maximum size of the
file, but all serv
