CVE-1999-0195

Summary

CVE-1999-0195 is a denial-of-service vulnerability affecting the RPC portmapper. An attacker can exploit this issue by registering or unregistering RPC services, or by spoofing RPC services using a fake IP address like 127.0.0.1. This allows the attacker to cause a denial-of-service condition on the targeted system, making it unavailable to legitimate users. The vulnerability could potentially be exploited by sending malicious RPC packets to the portmapper, leading to a significant disruption in network services.
