Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
xinetd versions prior to 2.1.8.8
Description
The issue is related to a buffer overflow in internal string handling routines, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands. This can be achieved by providing a length argument of zero or less, which disables the length check. The vulnerability can lead to disruption of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information and can be exploited remotely.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 2.1.8.8, update to version 2.1.8.8 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the xinetd service to minimize the risk of exploitation.
