DSA-063-1 xinetd Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment zen-parse reported on bugtraq that there is a possible buffer overflow in the logging code from xinetd. This could be triggered by using a fake identd that returns special replies when xinetd does an ident request. Another problem is that xinetd sets it umask to 0. As a result any programs that xinetd start that are not careful with file permissions will create world-writable files. Both problems have been fixed in version 2.1.8.8.p3-1.1.
