Checks the presence of a RPC service Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The dmisd RPC service is running. This service uses the function xdr_array() of the RPC library. It turns out that some older versions of the RPC library are vulnerable to an integer overflow in this function, which could permit a possible hacker to gain root rights on this host. *** No security hole regarding this program has been tested, so *** this might be a false positive. Solution : We suggest that you disable this service.
