Advisory Published
Vulnetix · Advisory published June 26, 2017
It was discovered that rpcbind and libtirpc contain a vulnerability that allows an attacker to allocate any amount of bytes (up to 4 gigabytes per attack) on a remote rpcbind host, and the memory is never freed unless the process crashes or the administrator halts or restarts the rpcbind service. This can slow down the system’s operations significantly or prevent other services from spawning processes entirely (CVE-2017-8779).
