Immunix OS Security Advisory
Packages updated: xinetd
Affected products: Immunix OS 7.0
Bugs fixed: immunix/1698
Date: Wed Aug 29 2001
Advisory ID: IMNX-2001-70-033-01
Author: Seth Arnold <sarnold@wirex.com>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:
Solar Designer has audited the xinetd 2.3.0 source code for many
different possible vulnerabilities; the 2.3.1 release represents his
patches being merged into the standard xinetd source. His audit
was fairly thorough and found too many problems to report them
all here. 2.3.2 fixes a heap overrun, with the fix due to Trond
Eivind Glomsrød. Steve Grubb contributed many other fixes, though
none appear to be directly security-related.
Suffice it to say that it is only a matter of time before the
problems fixed here are turned into exploits; we recommend all
users running xinetd upgrade soon.
