Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated nfs-utils package that fixes various bugs is now available.
Description
The nfs-utils package provides a daemon for the kernel NFS server and
related tools.
This updated nfs-utils package includes fixes for the following bugs:
- the method of setting lockd ports was updated.
- rpc.mountd would crash when large numbers of NFS shares were exported due
to a string size error in the auth_authenticate_internal() function.
- the RPM spec file was incorrectly attempting to verify attributes on
certain files in /var/lib/nfs.
- init script global sanity checks have been changed to occur only at
service startup.
- rpc.mountd memory usage would sometimes grow to several hundred megabytes
within a few days.
All users of nfs-utils are advised to upgrade to this updated package,
which resolves these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
