OpenAFS 0306f3fdac736e15620f5802bdce510d25bb2450 was included in =
packaged
and tagged =E2=80=9Copenafs" releases from both OpenSUSE, Debian, Ubuntu =
and Fedora.
Although it is true that the OpenAFS release team has not tagged a =
release=20
within the openafs git repository that it manages, Debian, Ubuntu, =
OpenSUSE
and Fedora took 0306f3fdac73 as part of the stack of changes necessary =
to
support 6.14 kernels based upon advice received from openafs developers:

  =
https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-devel/2025-April/021060.html

In my opinion a CVE should be published by OpenAFS referencing the =
commit=20
which can be referenced by all of the downstream distributions which =
included
it.
