CVE-2003-1070: Solaris rpcbind can crash, causing service outage
CVE-2003-1070 · published 23 years ago
Summary
The rpcbind service on Solaris versions 2.6 through 9 can be forced to stop, which may interrupt network functions that rely on it. This results in a denial of service where legitimate remote calls fail. Apply any available patches from the vendor and restrict network access to the rpcbind port to reduce risk.
