CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe rpcinfo utility in rpcbind is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow due to inadequate bounds checking when processing address information from a remote server. This flaw could allow a malicious rpcbind server to crash the rpcinfo client, leading to a denial of service and impacting system availability. Organizations using rpcbind should prioritize patching this vulnerability to safeguard against potential disruptions.
Original NVD Description
A stack-based buffer overflow was found in rpcbind's rpcinfo utility. When querying a remote rpcbind service with `rpcinfo -l`, address information returned by the server is copied into a fixed-size buffer without sufficient bounds checking. A malicious or compromised rpcbind server could use this flaw to crash the rpcinfo client, resulting in a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
