Title:	Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2001:416
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory CLA-2001:416. 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: 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-2001:416 http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/index.php?id=a&anuncio=002001 Risk factor : High
