+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could bypass intended access restrictions, i.e. NFS
+ netgroups, and gain access to restricted services.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All nfs-utils users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-fs/nfs-utils-1.1.3"</code>
