Topic

Enhanced rpcbind packages that add one enhancement are now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The rpcbind utility maps RPC (Remote Procedure Call) services to the ports
on which the services listen and allows the host to make RPC calls to the
RPC server.

This update adds the following enhancement:

  • The rpcbind tool did not drop supplementary groups and the groups

remained available after rpcbind downgraded from root-group privileges.
As a security hardening measure, rpcbind now drops root privileges
correctly, running as a non-root user after it has bound to its privileged
network port. (BZ#726954)

Users of rpcbind are advised to upgrade to these enhanced packages, which
add this enhancement.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
