Commercial
Solutions & Support for OpenAFS |
| If
your currently using the Andrew File System (AFS), OpenAFS, or considering making the switch to this
highly secure and incredibly flexible file system, you probably are
seeing backup solution providers that are dropping support for OpenAFS
and Freeware groups that work on updates as time permits. Is that
adequate for your disaster recovery requirements? Can you wait for
backup software updates while the developers work on other projects?
How can you convince yourself that they will keep pace with the ever
increasing speed of OpenAFS development? Do they employ synthetic
consolidation or verify data integrity in the backup system? We do!
Teradactyl is the #1 commercial vendor for AFS backup! |

-

OpenAFS 1.4.6 is the seventh in a series of releases focusing on bugfixes for Unix platforms. It contains several fixes to the fileserver only since 1.4.5, and is otherwise identical to OpenAFS 1.4.5
-
20-Dec-2007 - OpenAFS Security Advisory 2007-003
OpenAFS fileserver versions 1.3.50 - 1.4.5, 1.5.0 - 1.5.27. Fileservers of affected versions can be crashed by a client-triggered race condition. Fixes are available in 1.4.6 and 1.5.28.
19-Apr-2007
- OpenAFS Security Advisory 2007-002
OpenAFS for Windows clients versions 1.3.64 - 1.3.99, 1.4.0 - 1.4.4,
1.5.0 - 1.5.18. When MIT Kerberos for Windows (any version) is installed
a user with the ability to alter the contents of the Kerberos v5
configuration profile can prevent Microsoft Windows from successfully
booting. This issue has been corrected in OpenAFS 1.5.19.
20-Mar-2007
- OpenAFS Security Advisory 2007- 001
Unix clients in OpenAFS versions before 1.5.17 and 1.4.4 allow a
potential privilege escalation via setuid functionality which can
be enabled by the client administration but is enabled by default
for the client's local cell. To avoid this issue, 1.5.17 and 1.4.4
have been issued with setuid disabled by default in all cases. |

Contribute
to the OpenAFS Community |
The
OpenAFS project suffers from the classic Open Source problem: more
requests than people can find time to work on. Few contributors
to OpenAFS are currently paid for their time, and those who are,
are funded by their employers (to whom OpenAFS is eternally grateful).
Frequently contributors' work is driven by critical bugs and site-specific
problems. Work on new development, non-critical bugs, code audits,
performance enhancements, and documentation is accomplished volunteers
in their spare time. Contribute
to the OpenAFS Fund.* |
