- Solar Designer found a vulnerability in xinetd, a replacement for the
- BSD derived inetd. File descriptors for the signal pipe introduced in
- version 2.3.4 are leaked into services started from xinetd. The
- descriptors could be used to talk to xinetd resulting in crashing it
- entirely. This is usually called a denial of service.
- This problem has been fixed by the package maintainer in version
- 2.3.4-1.2 for the current stable distribution (woody) and in version
- 2.3.7-1 for the unstable distribution (sid). The old stable
- distribution (potato) is not affected, since it doesn\'t contain the
- signal pipe.
- We recommend that you upgrade your xinetd packages.
