NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nfs-utils package and not the nfs-utils package as distributed by Ubuntu.

rpc-gssd in nfs-utils before 1.2.8 performs reverse DNS resolution for server names during GSSAPI authentication, which might allow remote attackers to read otherwise-restricted files via DNS spoofing attacks.
