MDKSA-2001:055-1: xinetd |
||
Check for the version of the xinetd package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2001:055-1 (xinetd). A bug exists in xinetd as shipped with Mandrake Linux 8.0 dealing with TCP connections with the WAIT state that prevents linuxconf-web from working properly. As well, xinetd contains a security flaw in which it defaults to a umask of 0. This means that applications using the xinetd umask that do not set permissions themselves (like SWAT, a web configuration tool for Samba), will create world writable files. This update sets the default umask to 022. Update: This update forces the TMPDIR to /tmp instead of obtaining it from the root user by default, which uses /root/tmp. As well, this version of xinetd also fixed a possible buffer overflow in the logging code that was reported by zen-parse on bugtraq, but was not mentioned in the previous advisory.
