CVE-2002-1265: The Sun RPC functionality in multiple libc implementations does not provide a time-out mechanism when readi...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue can let a remote party make affected Sun RPC functionality hang by keeping TCP reads from completing. The business impact is availability loss, not data theft or code execution based on the provided sources. Exposure depends on whether Sun RPC over TCP is reachable on systems using affected libc implementations. The provided data lists broad “multiple libc implementations” only, with no reliable product/version inventory. Treat as a legacy availability risk. Prioritize exposed or critical systems, but do not escalate as actively exploited without new evidence. Mitigation focus: Review the named vendor advisories for applicable platform-specific patches or guidance.; Inventory systems exposing Sun RPC over TCP, especially legacy Unix-like systems.; Restrict network access to RPC services to trusted hosts where possible..
