Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.882717
Category:CentOS Local Security Checks
Title:CentOS Update for libtirpc CESA-2017:1263 centos7
Summary:Check the version of libtirpc
Description:Summary:
Check the version of libtirpc

Vulnerability Insight:
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)

Affected Software/OS:
libtirpc on CentOS 7

Solution:
Please Install the Updated Packages.

CVSS Score:
7.8

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C
