CVE-2024-10394
A local user can bypass the OpenAFS PAG (Process Authentication Group) throttling mechanism in Unix clients, allowing the user to create a PAG using an existing id number, effectively joining the PAG and letting the user steal the credentials in that PAG.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.20%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
