The problem is due to the way the program handles RPC requests that contain an invalid procedure call. An attacker can send a call that will cause cachefsd to crash. Technical Recommendation: As a workaround solution, ensure RPC services are blocked at the firewall. Otherwise, disable cachefsd. Copyright 2002 eSecurityOnline LLC. All rights reserved.
