Advisory Content (Page 1 of 3)[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

Description:
A vulnerability identified in multiple *NIX operating systems and software can be exploited by malicious people to conduct a DoS attack (Denial of Service) on a vulnerable system or potentially compromise it.

The vulnerability is caused by an integer overflow in the xdrmem_getbytes() function, which can lead to dynamic memory allocation errors. It has furthermore been reported that other functions in the xdrmem_*() family also may suffer from identical errors.

A malicious person can exploit the vulnerability by sending specially crafted RPC packets to various RPC services. Depending on how a vulnerable function is used by a program, this can result in a DoS (Denial of Service) or execution of arbitrary code.
