CVE-2017-8779
Published: 04 May 2017
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.

| mdeslaur | patch used by Debian in 0.2.3-0.6 isn't the correct one and the reproducer still works against rpcbind |
