Releases

Details

SGI discovered a remote Denial of Service vulnerability in the NFS
statd server. statd did not ignore the "SIGPIPE" signal which caused
it to shutdown if a misconfigured or malicious peer terminated the TCP
connection prematurely.

Update instructions

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 4.10

• nfs-common -

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
