- Updated xinetd packages fix a security vulnerability and other bugs.
-
- Xinetd is a master server that is used to to accept service
- connection requests and start the appropriate servers.
-
- Because of a programming error, memory was allocated and never freed if a
- connection was refused for any reason. An attacker could exploit this flaw
- to crash the xinetd server, rendering all services it controls unavaliable.
-
- In addition, other flaws in xinetd could cause incorrect operation in
- certain unusual server configurations.
-
- All users of xinetd are advised to update to the packages listed in this
- erratum, which contain an upgrade to xinetd-2.3.11 and are not vulnerable
- to these issues.
