Technical details
Netatalk versions 2.0.0 through 4.4.2 suffer from a predictable session token vulnerability (CWE-330). The afpd session reconnect tokens are derived from the process ID (PID) rather than being cryptographically random. An authenticated attacker can enumerate these tokens and abuse the session reconnection path to terminate processes on the host. This results in a denial-of-service (DoS) condition. The issue is fixed in Netatalk version 4.4.3 or by applying a specific security patch.
