|
vulnerability was found in versions of ypserv prior to version 2.7.
If a malicious client were to query ypserv via TCP and subsequently
ignore the server's response, ypserv will block attempting to send
the reply. The result is that ypserv will fail to respond to other
client requests. ypserv 2.7 and above have been altered to fork a
child for each client request, which prevents any one request from
causing the server to block.
