Technical details
A logic error (CWE-682) exists in Netatalk's ACL error handling where errno values are combined using a bitwise OR operator. This results in incorrect error code mapping when multiple error conditions occur simultaneously. A remote attacker could potentially trigger these incorrect error-handling paths to cause a minor service disruption (Availability: Low). The vulnerability is difficult to exploit (Attack Complexity: High) as it requires specific simultaneous error conditions. The issue is addressed in Netatalk version 4.5.0 or via a provided source patch for version 4.4.2.
