Title:	CentOS Update for nfs-utils CESA-2009:1321 centos5 i386
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'nfs-utils'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'nfs-utils' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Vulnerability Insight: The nfs-utils package provides a daemon for the kernel NFS server and related tools. It was discovered that nfs-utils did not use tcp_wrappers correctly. Certain hosts access rules defined in '/etc/hosts.allow' and '/etc/hosts.deny' may not have been honored, possibly allowing remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions. (CVE-2008-4552) This updated package also fixes the following bugs: * the 'LOCKD_TCPPORT' and 'LOCKD_UDPPORT' options in '/etc/sysconfig/nfs' were not honored: the lockd daemon continued to use random ports. With this update, these options are honored. (BZ#434795) * it was not possible to mount NFS file systems from a system that has the '/etc/' directory mounted on a read-only file system (this could occur on systems with an NFS-mounted root file system). With this update, it is possible to mount NFS file systems from a system that has '/etc/' mounted on a read-only file system. (BZ#450646) * arguments specified by 'STATDARG=' in '/etc/sysconfig/nfs' were removed by the nfslock init script, meaning the arguments specified were never passed to rpc.statd. With this update, the nfslock init script no longer removes these arguments. (BZ#459591) * when mounting an NFS file system from a host not specified in the NFS server's '/etc/exports' file, a misleading 'unknown host' error was logged on the server (the hostname lookup did not fail). With this update, a clearer error message is provided for these situations. (BZ#463578) * the nhfsstone benchmark utility did not work with NFS version 3 and 4. This update adds support to nhfsstone for NFS version 3 and 4. The new nhfsstone '-2', '-3', and '-4' options are used to select an NFS version (similar to nfsstat(8)). (BZ#465933) * the exportfs(8) manual page contained a spelling mistake, 'djando', in the EXAMPLES section. (BZ#474848) * in some situations the NFS server incorrectly refused mounts to hosts that had a host alias in a NIS netgroup. (BZ#478952) * in some situations the NFS client used its cache, rather than using the latest version of a file or directory from a given export. This update adds a new mount option, 'lookupcache=', which allows the NFS client to control how it caches files and directories. Note: The Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 kernel update (the fourth regular update) must be installed in order to use the 'lookupcache=' option. Description truncated, please see the referenced URL(s) for more information. Affected Software/OS: nfs-utils on CentOS 5 Solution: Please install the updated packages.
