RPC/NIS Update
The RPC NIS update vulnerability allows an intruder to execute commands on the
vulnerable system. Using the NIS service to create files on the target
machine, it will create the files as root. Check with your vendor to determine if
this service should be updated.
Risk: Medium
Fix: Obtain newer version of rpc.ypupdate from your vendor or disable
rpc.ypupdate.
