NFS Filehandle Too Large

This protocol anomaly is an NFS packet with a file handle that is too long. The NFS RFC specifies 32 bytes as the maximum file handle length for NFS 2, and 64 bytes for NFS 3.

Extended Description

Overly long file handles found in NFS packets are protocol anomalies. The impact of such malformed packets depends entirely upon the implementation of NFS that handles them.
