"The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
rpcbind-1.2.6-8.el9 build changelog.
- 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.
(CVE-2026-94640)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
