Correct me if I'm mistaken, but it doesn't seem like this should affect devices that don't have any NFS volumes mounted. Otherwise, I don't see why the NFS client would be active.

For their portable devices, it would seem the exception that they'd ever be using NFS shares.

In other words, I think the practical scope of this vulnerability might've been overstated.
