Updated NFS statd packages are available for Ubuntu Linux 4.10

==========================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-36-1 December 01, 2004
nfs-utils vulnerability
CAN-2004-1014
==========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)

The following packages are affected:

nfs-common

The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 1:1.0.6-3ubuntu1.1. In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

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.
