Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for rpcbind.

CVE-2026-16277[0]:
| A stack-based buffer overflow was found in rpcbind's rpcinfo
| utility. When querying a remote rpcbind service with `rpcinfo -l`,
| address information returned by the server is copied into a fixed-
| size buffer without sufficient bounds checking. A malicious or
| compromised rpcbind server could use this flaw to crash the rpcinfo
| client, resulting in a denial of service. The highest threat from
| this vulnerability is to system availability.
