Summary

The nfs-utils package provides a daemon for the kernel NFS server and related tools.
A flaw was found in the nfs-utils package build. The nfs-utils package was missing TCP wrappers support, which could result in an administrator believing they had access restrictions enabled when they did not. (CVE-2008-1376)
Users of nfs-utils are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to resolve this issue.
