| I just installed Fedora Core 5 and ran nmap about an hour after putting the box on the internet. 39608/tcp state: open service: unknown. netstat -ap shows this to be 1533/rpc.statd. according to http://fedoranews.org/mediawiki/index.php/Which_Services_Can_I_Disable%3F#rpcgssd.2Frpcidmapd.2Frpcsvcgssd these can be turned off if not using NFS. chkconfig --list | grep rpc will show you what these services do at various run levels. chkconfig --level 35 <servicename> off will turn that service off for run levels 3 & 5. That got rid of the 39608 issue for me. I also stopped nfslock & netfs services. I didn't find any "new" exploits for this service, but the activity on the port and the history of exploits on this service makes me paranoid. | |
