Description
A vulnerability in the rpcbind service allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to cause a denial of service by sending many unique RPC requests. The service tracks RPC statistics in unbounded in-memory lists, leading to persistent memory growth and increased CPU usage, which can degrade or exhaust service availability. This issue affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 and related variants. A security update addressing this flaw has been released by Red Hat.
