Name        : nfs-utils
Product     : Fedora 21
Version     : 1.3.1
Release     : 4.1.fc21
URL         : http://sourceforge.net/projects/nfs
Summary     : NFS utilities and supporting clients and daemons for the kernel NFS server
Description :
The nfs-utils package provides a daemon for the kernel NFS server and
related tools, which provides a much higher level of performance than the
traditional Linux NFS server used by most users.

This package also contains the showmount program.  Showmount queries the
mount daemon on a remote host for information about the NFS (Network File
System) server on the remote host.  For example, showmount can display the
clients which are mounted on that host.

This package also contains the mount.nfs and umount.nfs program.

    exportfs: Do not fail on empty exports file.
    
    Commit 076dd80 introduced a regression that causes
    exportfs to fail when there is an empty /etc/exports
    file. A empty /etc/exports file is valid and should
    not cause exportfs to fail.

commit e4569a0961ff9f059b9ae71327d291cf95399597

    rpc.mountd: set libtirpc nonblocking mode to avoid DOS
    
    This patch is experimental. In works fine in that it 
    removes the vulnerability against a DOS attack. rpc.mountd 
    can be blocked by a bad client, that sends many RPC requests 
    but never reads the responses. This might happen 
    intentionally or caused by a wrong network config (MTU). The 
    patch switches on the nonblocking mode of libtirpc. In that 
    mode writes can block for a max of 2 seconds. Attackers are 
    forced to send requests slower, as libtirpc will close
    a connection if it finds two requests to read at the same 
    time.
