NFS Denial of Service advisory from Sun

["m g" <mg_outlaw () hotmail com>]

Hello all,

Today, Sun released an advisory (47815) about how the lockd can be used to 
cause a DoS of NFS. However they did not provide any details about how the 
lockd can be killed to trigger this. See 
http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/retrieve.pl?doc=fsalert%2F47815&zone_32=category%3Asecurity

Does anyone know if this security issue is somehow related to the Bugtraq 
posting from Mike Murray  about lockd and nfs on Linux from  June 2000, see:
http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/bugtraq/2000-06/0073.html

I currently don't have a Sun box available to test it myself, so perhaps 
someone else can verify this or provide me information about this.

Grtx Mike G. (not Mike Murray)
