libtirpc-0.2.1-13.0.1.AXS4

This package contains SunLib's implementation of transport-independent
RPC (TI-RPC) documentation. This library forms a piece of the base of
Open Network Computing (ONC), and is derived directly from the
Solaris 2.3 source.

TI-RPC is an enhanced version of TS-RPC that requires the UNIX System V
Transport Layer Interface (TLI) or an equivalent X/Open Transport Interface
(XTI). TI-RPC is on-the-wire compatible with the TS-RPC, which is supported
by almost 70 vendors on all major operating systems. TS-RPC source code
(RPCSRC 4.0) remains available from several internet sites.

Security issues fixed with this release:

CVE-2017-8779
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.
