"details": "Restrict network access to the `rpcbind` service on port 111 to trusted systems. This can be achieved by configuring firewall rules to limit inbound connections. For example, using `firewalld` on Red Hat Enterprise Linux:\n\n```bash\n# To allow access only from a specific trusted network (e.g., 192.168.1.0/24)\nfirewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule='rule family=\"ipv4\" source address=\"192.168.1.0/24\" port port=\"111\" protocol=\"tcp\" accept'\nfirewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule='rule family=\"ipv4\" source address=\"192.168.1.0/24\" port port=\"111\" protocol=\"udp\" accept'\nfirewall-cmd --reload\n```\n\nIf `rpcbind` is only required for local services, ensure it is configured to listen only on the loopback interface or is otherwise protected from external network exposure. Applying these firewall rules will take effect immediately upon `firewall-cmd --reload` and may temporarily interrupt existing connections to `rpcbind`.",
