Hello all,
Today, Sun released an advisory (47815) about how the lockd can be used to
cause a DoS of NFS. However they did not provide any details about how the
lockd can be killed to trigger this. See
http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/retrieve.pl?doc=fsalert%2F47815&zone_32=category%3Asecurity
Does anyone know if this security issue is somehow related to the Bugtraq
posting from Mike Murray about lockd and nfs on Linux from June 2000, see:
http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/bugtraq/2000-06/0073.html
I currently don't have a Sun box available to test it myself, so perhaps
someone else can verify this or provide me information about this.
