CVE-2026-94640

HIGH 7.5 ALL-YEARS

Published 2026-09-22 · Last modified 2026-10-15 · redhat · NVD: Awaiting Analysis

A flaw was found in rpcbind. This vulnerability allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by sending a large number of unique requests. The rpcbind service records previously unseen RPC (Remote Procedure Call) statistics in unbounded in-memory lists, leading to persistent memory growth and increased CPU usage. This can degrade or exhaust service availability.
