Freshness: upstream tracker timestamp is available; use API updated time as primary recency signal.
CVE-2017-8779 medium priority: Ubuntu including 3 source packages (libtirpc, ntirpc, rpcbind), 69 status rows across 23 suites (artful, bionic, cosmic, disco, eoan, focal, groovy, hirsute, impish, jammy, kinetic, lunar, mantic, noble, oracular, plucky, precise, questing, trusty, upstream, xenial, yakkety, zesty): not-affected 47, ignored 11, released 7, DNE 2, needed 1, needs-triage 1.
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.
