Subject:      Security ERRATA for nfs-utils-lib on SL4.x i386/x86_64
Comments: To: scientific-linux-errata@fnal.gov

Synopsis:	Important: nfs-utils-lib security update
Issue date:	2007-09-19
CVE Names:	CVE-2007-3999

Tenable Network Security discovered a stack buffer overflow flaw in the RPC
library used by nfs-utils-lib. A remote unauthenticated attacker who can
access an application linked against nfs-utils-lib could trigger this flaw
and cause the application to crash. On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 it is not
possible to exploit this flaw to run arbitrary code as the overflow is
blocked by FORTIFY_SOURCE. (CVE-2007-3999)
