EulerOS 2.0 SP5 : rpcbind (EulerOS-SA-2020-1614)

high Nessus Plugin ID 137032

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the version of the rpcbind package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

 - rpcbind through 0.2.4, LIBTIRPC through 1.0.1 and 1.0.2-rc through 1.0.2-rc3, and NTIRPC through 1.4.3 do not consider the maximum RPC data size during memory allocation for XDR strings, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption with no subsequent free) via a crafted UDP packet to port 111, aka rpcbomb.(CVE-2017-8779)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected rpcbind package.
