SECURITY: new nfs-server packages available (fwd)

[alan () LXORGUK UKUU ORG UK (Alan Cox)]

Expect similar announces from other Linux vendors to follow this one. The
bug is in code that as far as I can tell in Linux specific portmap code
so this is unlikely to affect non Linux portmappers. I'll post an explanation
once the other vendor announcements are out.
