descriptionA format string parsing bug exists in ypbind 3.3 if it is run in debug mode which leaks file descriptors under certain circumstances which can lead to a DoS. In addition, ypbind may suffer from buffer overflows. In the ypserv program, a buffer overflow and format bug exist if the build system does not have vsyslog() or if configure fails to detect it. Both vulnerabilities were discovered by Olaf Kirch <[email protected]>.
