Category:SuSE Local Security Checks
Title:SUSE: Security Advisory (SUSE-SU-2014:0871-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'xinetd' package(s) announced via the SUSE-SU-2014:0871-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'xinetd' package(s) announced via the SUSE-SU-2014:0871-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Xinetd receives a LTSS roll-up update to fix two security issues.

* CVE-2012-0862: xinetd enabled all services when tcp multiplexing is
used.
* CVE-2013-4342: xinetd ignored user and group directives for tcpmux
services, running services as root.

While both issues are not so problematic on their own, in combination the impact is greater and enabling tcpmux would be risky.

* CVE-2013-4342

Affected Software/OS:
'xinetd' package(s) on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10-SP3, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10-SP4, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11-SP1, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11-SP2.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
