CVE-1999-0195

Summary

CVE-1999-0195 is a denial-of-service vulnerability affecting RPC portmapper. Attackers 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 them to cause the service to become unavailable, potentially causing disruptions and downtime for affected systems. The vulnerability arises due to insufficient input validation and access control checks in the portmapper protocol. It is recommended that affected systems be updated with the appropriate patches to mitigate this risk.
