Debian Security Advisory DSA 606-1 security@debian.org

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : nfs-utils
Vulnerability : wrong signal handler
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2004-1014

SGI has discovered that rpc.statd from the nfs-utils package, the Network Status Monitor, did not ignore the "SIGPIPE". Hence, a client prematurely terminating the TCP connection could also terminate the server process.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 1.0-2woody2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your nfs-utils package.

Upgrade Instructions
---------------------

wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.
