Bug Description
The new nfs-utils in Debian adds dependencies on libtirpc and rpcbind for IPv6. One is a network-sensitive library and the other is a network server, so I guess we'll want some careful review.
== libtirpc ==
* Availability: Package is in universe, synced from Debian
* Rationale: Dependency of rpcbind which is required for IPv6 support
* Security:
** No CVE: http://
** 2 old (2008) secunia advisories: http://
** Ubuntu CVE tracker: none
** SUID/SGID binaries: none
** Executables in sbin: none
** Daemons: none
* QA:
** Just a library with two binary packages (one for the lib and one -dev), no debconf question or configuration.
** No bug in Ubuntu: https:/
** No critical bugs in Debian: http://
** Package is maintained in Debian though not very active (last upload in December, moved to testing in February)
** Currently Build-depends on universe package "libgss-dev" but isn't necessary. Next Debian upload will drop it.
== rpcbind ==
* Availability: Package is in universe, synced from Debian.
* Rationale: Replacement of portmap as a nfs-utils build-depend required for IPv6 support.
* Security:
** No CVE that seem to target the current code base: http://
** No secunia advisories: http://
** Ubuntu CVE tracker: none
** SUID/SGID binaries: none
** Executables in sbin: /sbin/rpcbind (the daemon) and /usr/sbin/rpcinfo (a client)
** Daemons: rpcbind (sysvinit script, probably to be converted to upstart similar to what was done for portmap)
* QA:
** No debconf question, one config file in /etc (/etc/insserv.
** No critical bugs in Ubuntu: https:/
** No critical bugs in Debian: http://
** Package is maintained in Debian, last upload in March.
** Depends and build-depends on libtirpc (see MIR above)
