Description Seth Vidal 2002-08-01 18:03:49 UTC 
in glibc 2.2.5-37 glibc/sunrpc/xdr_array.c line 84

It appears to be identical to the code that *bsd just patched like here:
ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/3.1/common/012_xdr.patch

Is this a potential vulnerability?

I'm filing this as a security problem b/c it looks like it could be.
