CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: xinetd (CVE-2013-4342)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 201757

Synopsis

The remote CBL Mariner host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of xinetd installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2013-4342 advisory.

 - xinetd does not enforce the user and group configuration directives for TCPMUX services, which causes these services to be run as root and makes it easier for remote attackers to gain privileges by leveraging another vulnerability in a service. (CVE-2013-4342)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
