CVE-2003-0028
HighSummary
Integer overflow in the xdrmem_getbytes() function, and possibly other functions, of XDR libraries derived from SunRPC, including libnsl, libc, glibc, and dietlibc, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via certain integer values in length fields.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code remotely, posing a serious threat to the integrity and confidentiality of the system.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update XDR libraries to the latest versions that address this vulnerability and to monitor systems for unauthorized activities.

Original NVD description (English source)
Integer overflow in the xdrmem_getbytes() function, and possibly other functions, of XDR (external data representation) libraries derived from SunRPC, including libnsl, libc, glibc, and dietlibc, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via certain integer values in length fields, a different vulnerability than CVE-2002-0391.
