Description

In libtirpc before 1.3.3rc1, remote attackers could exhaust the file descriptors of a process that uses libtirpc because idle TCP connections are mishandled. This can, in turn, lead to an svc_run infinite loop without accepting new connections. A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability was found in libtirpc. This flaw allows a remote attacker to exhaust the file descriptors of a process that uses libtirpc due to mishandling idle TCP connections.
