Description:
Red Hat has issued an update for nfs-utils. This fixes a security issue, which can be exploited by malicious people to potentially bypass certain security restrictions.
The problem is that the nfs-utils package is built without TCP wrappers support, which could result in improper access restrictions being imposed due to the documentation specifying TCP wrappers as a valid security measure.
Solution:
Updated packages are available via Red Hat Network.
