  <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>
    
    <p>All Libtirpc users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-libs/libtirpc-1.0.1-r1"
    </code>
