The version of nfs-server that was distributed in Debian
GNU/Linux 2.1 had a buffer overflow in fh_buildpath(). It assumed
that the total length of a path would never exceed
(PATH_MAX_NAME_MAX). With a read/write exported directory people
could created longes path and cause a bufferoverflow.

This has been addressed in version 2.2beta37-1slink.1, and we
recommend you upgrade your nfs-server package immediately.

wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.

Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 alias slink


This version of Debian was released only for Intel, the Motorola
