                Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________

Package name:           xinetd
Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2003:056
Date:                   May 14th, 2003

Affected versions:	8.2, 9.0, 9.1, Corporate Server 2.1,
			Multi Network Firewall 8.2,
			Single Network Firewall 7.2
________________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

 A vulnerability was discovered in xinetd where memory was allocated and
 never freed if a connection was refused for any reason.  Because of
 this bug, an attacker could crash the xinetd server, making
 unavailable all of the services it controls.  Other flaws were also
 discovered that could cause incorrect operation in certain strange
 configurations.
 
 These issues have been fixed upstream in xinetd version 2.3.11 which
 are provided in this update.
