[ale] hack attempt?

[Wandered Inn]

I had an unusual entry in one of my log files and was wondering if there
is a buffer overflow issue with mountd.  Found the following:

Nov 18 20:51:33 denali mountd[291]: Unauthorized access by NFS client
142.169.160.58

and the ip is resolvable, to an entry from quebectel.com.

Obviously, the access was denied, but the message above was followed by
some garbage.  A bunch of ^P and other stuff that looked like line
noise.

The message attempts to indicate what was being mounted, but that's when
the garbage comes in.

Anyone seen anything like this?
