   9 openafs (1.5.73.3-1) experimental; urgency=low
  10
  11   This version of the OpenAFS client is built with experimental
  12   disconnected support.  This support should not change the normal
  13   operation of the client unless it is used.  If you wish to use it,
  14   please be aware that it is an experimental feature, may not work
  15   correctly, and may lose data.  Disconnected mode is configured through
  16   the fs discon command, which is not yet documented.
  17
  18   The communication protocol between afsd (in openafs-client) and the
  19   OpenAFS kernel module has changed in 1.5.  You must upgrade your kernel
  20   module to a 1.5.x kernel module when using this or newer versions of
  21   openafs-client, or OpenAFS will not start correctly.

  25 openafs (1.4.10+dfsg1-1) unstable; urgency=high
  26
  27   This release of OpenAFS contains security fixes in the kernel module.
  28   Be sure to also upgrade openafs-modules-source, build a new kernel
  29   module for your system following the instructions in
  30   /usr/share/doc/openafs-client/README.modules.gz, and then either stop
  31   and restart openafs-client or reboot the system to reload the kernel
  32   module.

  36 openafs (1.4.2-6) unstable; urgency=medium
  37
  38   As of this release of the OpenAFS kernel module, all cells, including
  39   the local cell, have setuid support turned off by default due to the
  40   possibility of an attacker forging AFS fileserver responses to create a
  41   fake setuid binary.  Prior releases enabled setuid support for the local
  42   cell.  Those binaries will now run with normal permissions by default.
  43
  44   This security fix will only take effect once you've installed a kernel
  45   module from openafs-modules-source 1.4.2-6 or later.  Doing so is highly
  46   recommended.  In the meantime, you can disable setuid support by
  47   running:
  48
  49       fs setcell -cell <localcell> -nosuid
  50
  51   as root (where <localcell> is your local cell, the one listed in
  52   /etc/openafs/ThisCell).
  53
  54   If you are certain there is no security risk of an attacker forging AFS
  55   fileserver responses, you can enable setuid status selectively using the
  56   fs setcell command.
