xinetd: Memory leak in xinetd 2.3.10
| Package(s): | xinetd |
CVE #(s): | CAN-2003-0211
|
| Created: | May 13, 2003 |
Updated: | November 13, 2003 |
| Description: |
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 unavailable.
In addition, other flaws in xinetd could cause incorrect operation in
certain unusual server configurations.
All users of xinetd are advised to update to xinetd-2.3.11 which is not
vulnerable to these issues. |
