Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
inetd in Red Hat 6.2
Description
The issue is related to inetd not properly closing sockets for internal services such as chargen, daytime, echo, etc. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a series of connections to the internal services. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely, potentially leading to disruption of protected information.
Recommendations
For Red Hat 6.2, consider disabling the internal services such as chargen, daytime, echo, etc., until a proper fix is available to prevent remote attackers from causing a denial of service.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
