CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

PACKAGE : xinetd
SUMMARY : Security and bugfix update for xinetd
DATE : 2001-08-29 15:08:00
ID : CLA-2001:416
RELEVANT
RELEASES : 6.0, 7.0

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

DESCRIPTION
 "xinetd" is an alternative to the inetd superserver, used to start
 services on demand.
 Solar Designer did a security audit in this package and produced a
 patch that was accepted by the author and incorporated in version
 2.3.1 and later. This patch fixes many security and reliability
 issues with xinetd.
 Another issue is that the version shipped with Conectiva Linux 7.0
 has IPv6 enabled, causing it to not work with IPv4-only systems. This
 update disables IPv6 support.
 Please note that xinetd is not used by default on these versions of
 Conectiva Linux.

SOLUTION
 It is recommended that all xinetd users upgrade their packages.
 Please note that xinetd will be automatically restarted if it is
 already running.
