CVE-2017-8779
NTIRPC RPC data size allocation vulnerability (Denial of Service)
Description

rpcbind through 0.2.4, LIBTIRPC through 1.0.1 and 1.0.2-rc through 1.0.2-rc3, and NTIRPC through 1.4.3 do not consider the maximum RPC data size during memory allocation for XDR strings, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption with no subsequent free) via a crafted UDP packet to port 111, aka rpcbomb.

A sensible no bullshit repo of summaries of reports on hackerone, bugcrowd and alike, that makes straight up sense and make it easy to repeat and automate. This is supposed to serve as my personal reference, but should be a good public index reference for like minded.
