Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: : : : Updated nfs-utils packages fix denial of service vulnerability
Notes
Topic
Updated nfs-utils packages are available that fix a remotely exploitable
Denial of Service vulnerability.
[Updated 30 July 2003]
Added packages for Red Hat Linux on IBM iSeries and pSeries systems.
Details
The nfs-utils package provides a daemon for the kernel NFS server and
related tools.
Janusz Niewiadomski found a buffer overflow bug in nfs-utils version 1.0.3
and earlier. This bug could be exploited by an attacker, causing a remote
Denial of Service (crash). It is not believed that this bug could lead to
remote arbitrary code execution.
Users are advised to update to these erratum packages, which contain a
backported security patch supplied by the nfs-utils maintainers and are not
vulnerable to this issue.
