  - The deprecated compatibility function clnt_create in the sunrpc module of the GNU C Library (aka glibc)
    through 2.34 copies its hostname argument on the stack without validating its length, which may result in
    a buffer overflow, potentially resulting in a denial of service or (if an application is not built with a
    stack protector enabled) arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2022-23219)
