Category:Red Hat Local Security Checks
Title:RedHat Update for rpcbind RHSA-2016:0005-01
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'rpcbind'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'rpcbind'
package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
The rpcbind utility is a server that converts
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.

A use-after-free flaw related to the PMAP_CALLIT operation and TCP/UDP
connections was discovered in rpcbind. A remote attacker could possibly
exploit this flaw to crash the rpcbind service by performing a series of
UDP and TCP calls. (CVE-2015-7236)

All rpcbind users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch to correct this issue. If the rpcbind service
is running, it will be automatically restarted after installing this
update.

Affected Software/OS:
rpcbind on Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Desktop (v. 6),
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6),
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 7),
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6)

Solution:
Please Install the Updated Packages.
