Re: weird rpc.statd messages on potato
Looks like a buffer overflow attack on rpc.statd. Is your network
firewalled against the internet? If you've been applying the security
updates to potato you should be okay (except who got access to the
ports? Insiders?). Since the log is not wiped I suspect the attack was
unsuccessful. Still, I'd want to be sure!
