NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rpcbind-debugsource package and not the rpcbind-debugsource package as distributed by Amazon-Linux. See How to fix? for Amazon-Linux:2023 relevant fixed versions and status.

A stack-based buffer overflow was found in rpcbind's rpcinfo utility. When querying a remote rpcbind service with rpcinfo -l, address information returned by the server is copied into a fixed-size buffer without sufficient bounds checking. A malicious or compromised rpcbind server could use this flaw to crash the rpcinfo client, resulting in a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
