The kfreebsd-8 kernel in the oldstable distribution (squeeze) does not enable the new NFS implementation. The Linux kernel is not affected by this vulnerability. For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 9.0-10+deb70.1. For the testing distribution (jessie) and the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 9.0-11. We recommend that you upgrade your kfreebsd-9 packages.
