Off-by-one error in the xlog function of mountd in the Linux NFS utils package (nfs-utils) before 1.0.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via certain RPC requests to mountd that do not contain newlines.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2003-0252 affects Linux systems running vulnerable nfs-utils mountd. A malformed remote RPC request can crash the NFS mount service and may allow arbitrary code execution. Business risk is concentrated in legacy Linux NFS servers, especially where mountd/RPC is reachable beyond trusted networks. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Linux systems running nfs-utils before 1.0.4 with rpc.mountd/NFS enabled. Internet or broad internal network reachability increases concern. The bundle does not identify modern affected distributions or package names beyond historical advisories. Prioritize if the organization still operates legacy Linux NFS servers. Remediation is most urgent where mountd is reachable from untrusted networks. If no vulnerable NFS servers exist, business urgency is low after verification. Mitigation focus: Upgrade nfs-utils to version 1.0.4 or a vendor-patched package.; Apply the relevant Linux distribution advisory for affected legacy systems.; Restrict NFS, RPC, and mountd access to trusted hosts only..
