CVE-2008-4552

Publication date 14 October 2008

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

The good_client function in nfs-utils 1.0.9, and possibly other versions before 1.1.3, invokes the hosts_ctl function with the wrong order of arguments, which causes TCP Wrappers to ignore netgroups and allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions.
