======================================================
Name: CVE-2008-4552
Status: Candidate
URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-4552
Reference: CONFIRM:https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=458676

nfs-utils 1.0.9, and possibly other versions before 1.1.3, invokes the
host_ctl function with the wrong order of arguments, which causes TCP
Wrappers to ignore netgroups and allows remote attackers to bypass
intended access restrictions.
