CVE-2019-18601

OpenAFS before 1.6.24 and 1.8.x before 1.8.5 is prone to denial of service from
unserialized data access because remote attackers can make a series of
VOTE_Debug RPC calls to crash a database server within the SVOTE_Debug RPC
handler.

Comment 1 Christof Hanke 2019-11-11 09:48:29 UTC 
Same comment as in #1155396
The upstream security-fixed version is already accepted in openSUSE:Factory.
Somehow I can't figure out how to get that into LEAP 15.1
Normal submission tells me to use the maintenance workflow 
and this one says:

hanke@dijon:/srv/OBS/home:hauky:branches:OBS_Maintained:openafs/openafs.openSUSE_Leap_15.1_Update> osc maintenancerequest  --incident=1155396  openSUSE:Factory openafs openSUSE:Leap:15.1:Update
Using target project 'openSUSE:Maintenance:1155396'
Server returned an error: HTTP Error 404: Not Found
openSUSE:Maintenance:1155396

So, what to do ?
