MiracleLinux 4 : nfs-utils-1.2.3-15.AXS4 (AXSA:2012-04:01)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 284406

Synopsis

The remote MiracleLinux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2012-04:01 advisory.

 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.
 This package also contains the showmount program. Showmount queries the mount daemon on a remote host for information about the NFS (Network File System) server on the remote host. For example, showmount can display the clients which are mounted on that host.
 This package also contains the mount.nfs and umount.nfs program.
 Security issues fixed with this release:
 CVE-2011-1749 CVE-2011-2500 No information available at the time of writing, see the CVE link below.
 Fixed bugs:
 - Single quote characters in the path name of a mount point entry were not parsed properly: if the mount point contained a single quote character, an NFS exported file system could not be unmounted. The parsing routines have been rewritten to fix this.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected nfs-utils package.
