According to the version of the rpcbind package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

  - It was found that due to the way rpcbind uses libtirpc     (libntirpc), a memory leak can occur when parsing     specially crafted XDR messages. An attacker sending     thousands of messages to rpcbind could cause its memory     usage to grow without bound, eventually causing it to     be terminated by the OOM killer. (CVE-2017-8779)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

An update for libtirpc is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

The libtirpc packages contain SunLib's implementation of transport-independent remote procedure call (TI-RPC) documentation, which includes a library required by programs in the nfs-utils and rpcbind packages.

Security Fix(es) :

* It was found that due to the way rpcbind uses libtirpc (libntirpc), a memory leak can occur when parsing specially crafted XDR messages.
An attacker sending thousands of messages to rpcbind could cause its memory usage to grow without bound, eventually causing it to be terminated by the OOM killer. (CVE-2017-8779)

[Updated 16 June 2017] The packages distributed with this errata have a bug that can cause the rpcbind utility to terminate unexpectedly at start. RHBA-2017:1435 was released on 13 June 2017 to address this issue.

The rpcbind utility is a server that converts Remote Procedure Call (RPC) program numbers into universal addresses. It must be running on the host to be able to make RPC calls on a server on that machine.
