Buffer overflow in the Solaris kernel extension in OpenAFS before 1.6.13 allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic or deadlock) or possibly have other unspecified impact via a large group list when joining a PAG.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
