Hey there,
Does anyone know anything about this bulletin referring to RPC processes?? Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Chet

Invariably these are buffer overflow errors, or some other "bug" that allows the compromise of your servers. If you're in an at-risk environment (Internet or equivalent), I'd put the rpc patches high on your list.

Hi Chet,

As suggested your system can be compromised
by having 'rpc' ports open. If you don't
require these ports close them off in your
/etc/inetd.conf file. If you need them
make sure you install the patch(es) at an
early convenience and make them a priority
if your system is exposed to high risk or
outside of your firewall.
