Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : nfs-utils (MDKSA-2004:146)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 15919

Synopsis

The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

SGI developers discovered a remote DoS (Denial of Service) condition in the NFS statd server. rpc.statd did not ignore the 'SIGPIPE' signal which would cause it to shutdown if a misconfigured or malicious peer terminated the TCP connection prematurely.

The updated packages have been patched to prevent this problem.

Solution

Update the affected nfs-utils and / or nfs-utils-clients packages.
