Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10: stack buffer overflow
Medium6.5CVE-2026-16461 · Published Jul 21, 2026 · updated Jul 22, 2026
A stack-based buffer overflow was found in rpcbind's rpcinfo utility. In rpcbdump() short mode (used by `rpcinfo -s`), version numbers from a remote RPCBPROC_DUMP reply are written into a fixed-size stack buffer without bounds checking. A user or administrator who runs `rpcinfo -s` against a malicious or compromised rpcbind endpoint could experience a crash or denial of service of the rpcinfo client.
