Tracker summary

CVE-2017-8779 not yet assigned priority: Debian including 3 source packages (libtirpc, ntirpc, rpcbind), 15 status rows across 5 suites (bookworm, bullseye, forky, sid, trixie): resolved 15.

Description:

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.
