Description:
A security issue has been reported in nfs-utils, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions.
The security issue is caused due to the TCP wrappers implementation calling the "hosts_ctl()" function with a wrong order of arguments. This can be exploited to bypass access control rules imposed on NFS netgroups and gain access to restricted services.
The security issue is reported in version 1.0.9. Other versions prior to 1.1.3 may also be affected.
