Can someone summarise which kernel versions / solaris updates and
openafs versions are affected?

Someone at the conference mentioned some specific patch levels... I
think they're in Tom Kula's notes. But those were guesses, I believe; we
haven't gone through all of the patches and seen where it starts
occurring.
118855-36 and openafs 1.4.10 is where I started to see issues. However, a coworker was also screwing around on the systems and another was remotely putting them to sleep.

I also saw issues on Solaris 8/sparc with 1.4.12 and ended up reverting to 1.4.8 which was the previous stable and I didn't see these issues.

I was seeing a variety of other issues, where the afs access wasn't locking up, but inetd was locked up like it was attacked (and it may have been), however this happened on solaris containers, and it only affected the single container instance not the host where the client actually lives.

Off the top of my head, some of the kernel changes affected the security policy (unable to even disable it), the name services (dns/username lookups) and the built-in kerberos mechanism.

Im actually kind of wondering if there is a memory leak in there somewhere.
