CVE-2011-2500

Publication date 15 February 2014

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

The host_reliable_addrinfo function in support/export/hostname.c in nfs-utils before 1.2.4 does not properly use DNS to verify access to NFS exports, which allows remote attackers to mount filesystems by establishing crafted DNS A and PTR records.
