Sun Solaris mountd daemon denial of service
| solaris-mountd-dos (37195) |  Low Risk |
Description:
Sun Solaris is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error in the RPC Services Library (librpcsvc). If the mountd service is used on an NFS server with an overly large number of exported file systems or with long access lists, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to crash the mountd daemon.
