RHBA-2011:1713 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
xinetd bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Lightspeed patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated xinetd package that fixes two bugs is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The xinetd daemon is a secure replacement for inetd, the Internet services
daemon. It provides access control for all services based on the address of the
remote host and/or on time of access, and can prevent denial of service (DoS)
attacks.
This update fixes the following bugs:
- Previously, the configuration files of the xinetd utility were readable for
all users. This update makes the permissions more restrictive and the
configuration files are now readable only by root. (BZ#706976)
- Previously, the /etc/xinet.d/ directory was owned by both the filesystem and
xinetd packages. This bug has been fixed, and the directory is now owned only by
the filesystem package. (BZ#738662)
Users of xinetd are advised to upgrade to this updated package which fixes these
bugs.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
