Descriptions

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.

La función good_client en nfs-utils versión 1.0.9, y posiblemente otras versiones anteriores a 1.1.3, invoca la función hosts_ctl con el orden incorrecto de argumentos, lo que causa que la TCP Wrappers ignore los netgroups y permita a los atacantes remotos omitir las restricciones de acceso previstas.
