SRU Justification:

Impact: NFS client can cause kernel oops

Fix Description: The rpcb_getport_async function in the sunrpc module copies larger memory area than the allocated on Ubuntu Hardy. Because of this problem, NFS users might encounter oops. This bug is derived from Linux 2.6.24 in kernel.org. It seems to be fixed on Linux 2.6.25 in kernel.org by the commit 86d61d8638ddf9cdf87df26c7fa69b2804425fbe.
