Title:
  June 10, 2021 rpcbind security update continually crashes

Status in rpcbind package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  
  The June 10, 2021 rpcbind security update on Ubuntu 18.04 is broken and immediately aborts on launch, systemd repeatedly relaunching it.  This has happened on multiple systems breaking NIS and NFS services.

  # lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS
  Release:	18.04

  # apt-cache policy rpcbind
  rpcbind:
    Installed: 0.2.3-0.6ubuntu0.18.04.2
    Candidate: 0.2.3-0.6ubuntu0.18.04.2
    Version table:
   *** 0.2.3-0.6ubuntu0.18.04.2 500
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates/main amd64 Packages
          500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
       0.2.3-0.6 500
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/main amd64 Packages

  syslog output (this repeats over and over, counter incrementing):

  Jun 10 10:12:04 rpcbind[7164]: free(): invalid pointer
  Jun 10 10:12:04 systemd[1]: rpcbind.service: Main process exited, code=dumped, status=6/ABRT
  Jun 10 10:12:04 systemd[1]: rpcbind.service: Failed with result 'core-dump'.
  Jun 10 10:12:05 systemd[1]: rpcbind.service: Service hold-off time over, scheduling restart.
  Jun 10 10:12:05 systemd[1]: rpcbind.service: Scheduled restart job, restart counter is at 105.

  please fix, this is a critical bug for us.
