CVE-2021-46828 (GCVE-0-2021-46828)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2022-07-20 00:00 – Updated: 2025-05-05 16:44
VLAI
Summary
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.
