The services behind those two ports are very well known for having quite
a few security holes. I've seen scans of those ports on my systems ever
since I started running UNIX/Linux and I could actually see what's going
on. Both FTP and NFS/SunRPC are somehow weak services in the security sense
of the world, and patches have been released for a long time now to
upgrade them.
