A vulnerability in nfs-utils might allow remote attackers to gain access to restricted information.
| Package | Arch | Vulnerable | Unaffected |
|---|---|---|---|
| net-fs/nfs-utils | * | < 1.2.8 | >= 1.2.8 |
nfs-utils contains the client and daemon implementations for the NFS protocol.
rpc.gssd in nfs-utils is vulnerable to DNS spoofing due to it depending on PTR resolution for GSSAPI authentication, allowing for data to be submitted to a malicious server without the knowledge of the user.
A remote attacker may be able to obtain sensitive information.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All nfs-utils users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-fs/nfs-utils-1.2.8"
An error in nfs-utils allows for bypass of the netgroups restriction.
| Package | Arch | Vulnerable | Unaffected |
|---|---|---|---|
| net-fs/nfs-utils | * | < 1.1.3 | >= 1.1.3 |
nfs-utils contains the client and daemon implementations for the NFS protocol.
Michele Marcionelli reported that nfs-utils invokes the hosts_ctl() function with the wrong order of arguments, which causes TCP Wrappers to ignore netgroups.
A remote attacker could bypass intended access restrictions, i.e. NFS netgroups, and gain access to restricted services.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All nfs-utils users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-fs/nfs-utils-1.1.3"
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in nfs-utils that could lead to a Denial of Service, or the execution of arbitrary code.
| Package | Arch | Vulnerable | Unaffected |
|---|---|---|---|
| net-fs/nfs-utils | * | < 1.0.6-r6 | >= 1.0.6-r6 |
nfs-utils is a package containing the client and daemon implementations for the NFS protocol.
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.
A remote attacker could potentially cause a Denial of Service, or even execute arbitrary code (64-bit architectures only) on a remote NFS server.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All nfs-utils users should upgarde to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-fs/nfs-utils-1.0.6-r6"
