Bug Description

References:
DSA-1458-1 (http://www.debian.org/security/2008/dsa-1458)

Quoting:
"A race condition in the OpenAFS fileserver allows remote attackers to
cause a denial of service (daemon crash) by simultaneously acquiring and
giving back file callbacks, which causes the handler for the
GiveUpAllCallBacks RPC to perform linked-list operations without the
host_glock lock."
