Amazon Linux AMI : libtirpc (ALAS-2013-199)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 69757

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux AMI host is missing a security update.

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)

Solution

Run 'yum update libtirpc' to update your system.
