Package: portmap
Version: 6.0-6
Severity: important
The portmap init script still uses `pidof portmap' when deciding whether
to start portmap instead of creating a pidfile under /var/run. This
means that
- the potential DoS in #448470 still exists
- on system shutdown portmap will be killed by sendsigs, causing trouble.
The latter problem was triggered on my system when I switched to a
dependency based boot system with the insserv package. It moved
nfs-common after sendsigs and the rpc.{stat,idmap}.d processes had to be
SIGKILLed, causing a 5-6 seconds delay in the shutdown process. See the
thread starting at
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/initscripts-ng-devel/2008-July/000548.html.
