Synopsis:          Moderate: xinetd security update
Advisory ID:       SLSA-2013:1409-1
Issue Date:        2013-10-07
CVE Numbers:       CVE-2013-4342
--

It was found that xinetd ignored the user and group configuration
directives for services running under the tcpmux-server service. This flaw
could cause the associated services to run as root. If there was a flaw in
such a service, a remote attacker could use it to execute arbitrary code
with the privileges of the root user. (CVE-2013-4342)
