My servers are still running 1.6.22 and appear to be fine for vos operations between themselves, and the DB servers have been restarted since this happened (but not the fileservers).  Will I need to upgrade the servers too ?

The bug was introduced in OpenAFS 1.8.0 and is present in OpenAFS 1.9.0
as well.

All clients and servers running OpenAFS 1.8.[0123456] and OpenAFS 1.9.0
will fail to communicate with OpenAFS peers (clients or servers) and
MUST be updated.

OpenAFS 1.2.x, 1.4.x and 1.6.x clients and servers are unaffected.  They
might require updates for other reasons depending upon the version but
they are not impacted by this issue.

All AuriStorFS clients/servers and Linux rxrpc clients are unaffected by
this issue.
