The Heimdal Kerberos bundled with the OpenAFS 1.7.3301 client as with
all versions of Heimdal Kerberos prior to version 7.4 include the
Orpheus' Lyre (CVE-2017-11103) bug.  The OpenAFS client does not require
an update but Heimdal does.

Heimdal 7.4 installers for Windows are available from

  https://www.secure-endpoints.com/heimdal/#download

Heimdal Kerberos releases are produced by staff from AuriStor, Inc. and
Two Sigma Investments.  Secure Endpoints, Inc. continues to package and
distribute the Windows release.

I am unaware of any AFS client for Microsoft Windows 10 that is
available from anywhere other than AuriStor, Inc.
