CVE-2014-0159
Buffer overflow in the GetStatistics64 remote procedure call (RPC) in OpenAFS 1.4.8 before 1.6.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted statsVersion argument.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.16%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
