Subject: Summer bug cleaning - rpcbind -h option

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

And an RPC one (and possibly other NFS utils):

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=852282
CVE-2012-3541 rpcbind: -h fails to control access to rpcbind

I'm guessing nobody noticed or cares much because people use firewalls
to control access to ports, not internal -h or whatever flags. The
reason rpcbind qualifies for a CVE is it exposes rpcbind on interfaces
against the direct configuration it was given (e.g. if you tell it to
listen to localhost only it would expose itself to the world).
