rpcbomb: remote rpcbind denial-of-service

[Guido Vranken <guidovranken () gmail com>]

This vulnerability allows an attacker to allocate any amount of bytes
(up to 4 gigabytes per attack) on a remote rpcbind host, and the
memory is never freed unless the process crashes or the administrator
halts or restarts the rpcbind service.

Attacking a system is trivial; a single attack consists of sending a
specially crafted payload of around 60 bytes through a UDP socket.

This can slow down the system’s operations significantly or prevent
other services (such as a web server) from spawning processes
entirely.
