Título:	Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2003:782
Resumen:	NOSUMMARY
Descripción:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory CLA-2003:782. xinetd[1] is an alternative to the inetd superserver, used to start services on demand. Version 2.3.12 fixes several problems[3] found in previous versions, including: - memory leak (CVE-2003-0211)[2]. Versions prior to 2.3.11 have a memory leak which manifests itself with each refused connection, which can easily lead to a denial of service condition. - problem while using cups-lpd with our xinetd package (ticket #9238[4]). Our init script for xinetd did not remove the TMP and TMPDIR environment variables before starting the service, causing problems with cups-lpd and other services which use these variables and change uid after startup. Several other problems have been fixed in the 2.3.12 release. A detailed changelog can be obtained at reference [3]. Solution: The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade' http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=CLA-2003:782 http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/index.php?id=a&anuncio=002003 Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 5.0
