Subject: [PATCH] rpcinfo: stack buffer overflow in rpcinfo rpcbdump()
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2026 17:38:16 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260828153829.1034658-1-knowak@microsoft.com> (raw)

rpcinfo's rpcbdump() formats a server-controlled list of versions into
a fixed size buffer with sprintf(). A malicious server returning a
large number of versions may overflow it.
