1. Problem Description
The implementation of xdr_array can be tricked into writing
beyond the buffers it allocated when deserializing the XDR
stream.
The xdrmem_getbytes() function in the XDR library provided by
Sun Microsystems contains an integer overflow that can lead
to improperly sized dynamic memory allocation.=20
2. Vulnerable Supported Versions
System Binaries
----------------------------------------------------------------------
UnixWare 7.1.1 /etc/conf/pack.d/krpc/Driver_atup.o
/etc/conf/pack.d/krpc/Driver_mp.o
/usr/lib/tmp/libnsl.so
Open UNIX 8.0.0 /etc/conf/pack.d/krpc/Driver_atup.o
/etc/conf/pack.d/krpc/Driver_mp.o
/usr/lib/tmp/libnsl.so
