Bug Description

References:
[1] CVE-2007-4135 (http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-4135)
[2] MDKSA-2007:240 (http://www.mandriva.com/en/security/advisories?name=MDKSA-2007:240)

Quoting [1]:
"The NFSv4 ID mapper (nfsidmap) before 0.17 does not properly handle return values from the getpwnam_r function when performing a username lookup, which can cause it to report a file as being owned by "root" instead of "nobody" if the file exists on the server but not on the client."
