GLSA-200412-08 : nfs-utils: Multiple remote vulnerabilities

critical Nessus Plugin ID 15955

Synopsis

The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200412-08 (nfs-utils: Multiple remote vulnerabilities)

 Arjan van de Ven has discovered a buffer overflow on 64-bit architectures in 'rquota_server.c' of nfs-utils (CAN-2004-0946). A remotely exploitable flaw on all architectures also exists in the 'statd.c' file of nfs-utils (CAN-2004-1014), which can be triggered by a mishandled SIGPIPE.
 Impact :

 A remote attacker could potentially cause a Denial of Service, or even execute arbitrary code (64-bit architectures only) on a remote NFS server.
 Workaround :

 There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All nfs-utils users should upgarde to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=net-fs/nfs-utils-1.0.6-r6'
