Novell Patches: Network File System (NFS)

NetWare XNFS security updates - Nov 2011

Wed, 23 Nov 2011 00:00:00 -0700

Abstract: This download (xnfs8d.zip) contains an updated XNFS.NLM to correct security vulnerabilities in NetWare NFS related services. It also fixes a possible abend triggered by certain lock requests. Older fixes (including previous security fixes) which were present in xnfs8c.zip are also included.

Since NFS is loaded on all default NetWare 6.5 systems, it is recommended that this update be placed on all NetWare systems. However, if NFS (aka Native File Access for Unix) is not needed, it is also possible to avoid this vulnerability by remarking out NFSSTART.NCF from AUTOEXEC.NCF and rebooting.

NetWare XNFS security updates

Fri, 18 Feb 2011 00:00:00 -0700

Abstract: This download contains an updated XNFS.NLM to correct a security vulnerability in NFS related services. It also fixes potential high utilization while using NFS services. Older fixes (including previous security fixes) which were present in xnfs8b.zip are also included. Since NFS is loaded on all default NetWare 6.5 systems, it is recommended that this update be placed on all NetWare systems. However, if NFS (aka Native File Access for Unix) is not needed, it is also possible to avoid this vulnerability by remarking out NFSSTART.NCF from AUTOEXEC.NCF and rebooting.

XNFS and PKERNEL post SP8 Updates

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 00:00:00 -0600

Abstract: This download contains an updated portmapper (PKERNEL.NLM) to correct a security vulnerability in the RPC function known as CALLIT. PKERNEL is loaded on all default NetWare 6.5 systems, as it is used as part of the Native File Access methods. Therefore, it is recommended that this update be placed on all NetWare systems. However, if NFS (aka Native File Access for Unix) is not needed, it is also possible to avoid this vulnerability by remarking out NFSSTART.NCF from AUTOEXEC.NCF and rebooting. Also contained is an updated NFS Server (XNFS.NLM) for NetWare 6.5 SP8 which corrects an error in permissions evaluation during a move (mv) operation from an NFS client.

FTPSERV.NLM Abend and Security fixes

Thu, 23 Jun 2005 00:00:00 -0600

Abstract: FTPSERV.NLM v10.31 in this download supersedes FTPSERV.NLM in NetWare 4 Support Pack 9, NetWare 5.0 Support Pack 6, and FTPSERVK.EXE. It was only officially tested on NetWare 4.2, because NetWare 4.11 and 5.0 were discontinued at the time this patch was made. Use of this file requires UNIX Print Services 2.3x (2.31 comes with NW 4.2), NFS Services 2.3, or NFS Services 2.4. This download was rebuilt on June 23, 2005, to change the status from beta to full release. Only this readme was altered.
