CVSS 3.0
7.5 highCVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:HCVE-2017-8779
High (7.5). EPSS 81% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
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.
