Description: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
Release: 16.04
Package: nfs-common 1:1.2.8-9ubuntu12.1.0
This bug affects all active and proposed versions of nfs-common used by ubuntu (as every version is based on nfs-utils_1.2.8) from trusty to artful.
There is a small error in the code for rpc.gssd that causes it to always perform reverse DNS when looking up the server name to pass to GSSAPI. This causes a problem for NFS4 in environments where reverse DNS is correctly configured. This has been confirmed in Debian and a more recent version of nfs-utils that appears to have fixed this has been pushed to sid:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=803710
However, I do not know if that version of nfs-utils will make it to ubuntu soon. Will it?
If not, the patch to this appears to be rather straightforward.
The error is an '== 1' instead of an '== 0' in two lines of gssd_proc.c that are evaluated when the -D flag to rpc.gssd is not passed (and thus avoid_dns is true)

Is there any way to get either 1) the updated version of nfs-utils or 2) this patch applied to xenial (and, hopefully, other versions of ubuntu)? Thank you for looking at this! |
