high Nessus Plugin ID 153308

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

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

 - A null-pointer dereference vulnerability was found in libtirpc before version 0.3.3-rc3. The return value of makefd_xprt() was not checked in all instances, which could lead to a crash when the server exhausted the maximum number of available file descriptors. A remote attacker could cause an rpc-based application to crash by flooding it with new connections.(CVE-2018-14622)

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.
