Description (last modified by Sebastian Huber)

The RPC library needs an audit to verify that it is up to data. Some security problems existed in the SUN implementation, e.g

http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2003-10.html

Maybe it makes sense to use the recent FreeBSD or OpenBSD version.

Ok, maybe its worth to use the Newlib RPC version. Another option is to look at the 16-bit changes and merge them into the current FreeBSD or OpenBSD version. The cited problem is probably not the only one.

This will not be fixed in the legacy stack. Use the newer libbsd stack.
