Tracker summary

CVE-2008-4552 medium priority: Ubuntu including 1 source packages (nfs-utils), 5 status rows across 5 suites (dapper, gutsy, hardy, intrepid, upstream): released 5.

Description:

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.
