Debian Security Advisory

DSA-606-1 nfs-utils -- wrong signal handler

Date Reported:
08 Dec 2004
Affected Packages:
nfs-utils
Vulnerable:
Yes
Security database references:
In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2004-1014.
More information:

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.

Fixed in:

Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (woody)
