Package description:
The nfs-utils package provides a daemon for the kernel NFS server and
related tools, which provides a much higher level of performance than the
traditional Linux NFS server used by most users.
Problem description:
SGI developers discovered a remote Denial of Service in the NFS statd
server where it did not ignore the "SIGPIPE" signal. This could cause
the server to shut down if a client terminates prematurely.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CAN-2004-1014 to this issue.
Action:
We recommend that all systems with this package installed be upgraded.
Please note that if you do not need the functionality provided by this
