Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions xinetd versions 2.1.8.9pre11-1 and earlier

Description The issue concerns a buffer overflow in the xinetd package, which can be exploited remotely. This may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long ident response that is not properly handled by the svc logprint function. The exploitation of these vulnerabilities can lead to a breach of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information.

Recommendations For versions 2.1.8.9pre11-1 and earlier, consider updating to a version that fixes the buffer overflow issue in the svc logprint function to prevent remote attackers from executing arbitrary code. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
