Description David Walser 2012-04-07 18:11:19 CEST
RedHat has issued this advisory on December 6:
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-1534.html

We already fixed CVE-2011-1749, but the other one, a flaw in IP address authentication, was missed.  Cauldron is not vulnerable.

I just submitted a patched version to core/updates_testing.

Advisory:
========================

Updated nfs-utils packages fix security vulnerability:

A flaw was found in the way nfs-utils performed IP based authentication of
mount requests. In configurations where a directory was exported to a group
of systems using a DNS wildcard or NIS (Network Information Service)
netgroup, an attacker could possibly gain access to other directories
exported to a specific host or subnet, bypassing intended access
restrictions. (CVE-2011-2500)

Testing complete on i586 for the srpm
nfs-utils-1.2.3-2.3.mga1.src.rpm

Just testing I can access shares from a VirtualBox guest.  Both
host and guest are running Mageia 1 with the updated nfs packages.

Testing ok on x86_64 (take some time to remember how it works)
