+ <background>
+ <p>The RPCBind utility is a server that converts RPC program numbers into
+ universal addresses.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>Libtirpc is a port of Suns Transport-Independent RPC library to Linux.</p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>It was found that due to the way RPCBind uses libtirpc (libntirpc), a
+ memory leak can occur when parsing specially crafted XDR messages.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>A remote attacker could send thousands of messages to RPCBind, possibly
+ resulting in a Denial of Service condition.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All RPCBind users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-nds/rpcbind-0.2.4-r1"
+ </code>
