A recent security update to rpcbind (SLSA-2017:1267) contained a bug
that causes rpcbind to crash under some conditions. The specific
conditions involve the interaction between ypbind, ypserv, and IPv6
addresses within rpcbind.
The fix (SLBA-2017:1435 and SLBA-2017:1436) is currently available in
the fastbugs repos. But given that there is potential for a significant
unplanned outage when the latest rpcbind security update is applied, and
that many SL systems do not install fastbugs by default, we will push
SLBA-2017:1435 to security.
Publication of a non-security package to older releases is something the
SL Team generally does only to permit the installation of security
updates. We're making an exception for this case.
On June 19 2017, SLBA-2017:1435 and SLBA-2017:1436 will be published for
all SL6 and SL7 releases so that it supersedes SLSA-2017:1267 in a
default yum update operation
