Scientific Linux Security Update : libtirpc on SL6.x i386/srpm/x86_64 (20130530)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 66709

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Scientific Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

A flaw was found in the way libtirpc decoded RPC requests. A specially- crafted RPC request could cause libtirpc to attempt to free a buffer provided by an application using the library, even when the buffer was not dynamically allocated. This could cause an application using libtirpc, such as rpcbind, to crash. (CVE-2013-1950)

All running applications using libtirpc must be restarted for the update to take effect.

Solution

Update the affected libtirpc, libtirpc-debuginfo and / or libtirpc-devel packages.
