CVE-2010-2064 describes a local privilege escalation vulnerability in rpcbind version 0.2.0, allowing attackers to write to arbitrary files. This high-severity flaw (CVSS 7.1) leverages a symlink attack on temporary files, specifically /tmp/portmap.xdr and /tmp/rpcbind.xdr, to achieve its impact. While the attack complexity is low and requires local access, it can lead to significant compromise of confidentiality and integrity. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this decade-old vulnerability.
