Hi,
     As the advisory says: "...Additional
commercial and open-source Unix operating systems use implementations of 
SunRPC, and may also be vulnerable..."...

    it seems that glibc based systems (eg: most, if not all, linuxes) 
are also vulnerable to exactly the same xdr_array problem.

    (take a look at glibc-2.2.5/sunrpc/xdr_array.c)
