Category:	Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2017-0183)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'libtirpc, rpcbind' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2017-0183 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'libtirpc, rpcbind' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2017-0183 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: It was discovered that rpcbind and libtirpc contain a vulnerability that allows an attacker to allocate any amount of bytes (up to 4 gigabytes per attack) on a remote rpcbind host, and the memory is never freed unless the process crashes or the administrator halts or restarts the rpcbind service. This can slow down the system's operations significantly or prevent other services from spawning processes entirely (CVE-2017-8779). Affected Software/OS: 'libtirpc, rpcbind' package(s) on Mageia 5. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 7.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C
