Description of problem:
1. A bug was found in xinetd's string handling routines. All versions of
xinetd prior to 2.3.1 are vulnerable. 

2. The mailing list for xinetd shows that there are at least two serious 
bugs in xinetd that have only just been fixed and so cannot be in Red Hat
7.1.93. 
These bugs manifest themselves when xinetd is heavily loaded and also for 
daemons where you have to specify the "wait" option.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.3.0-3


How reproducible:
Didn't try


Additional info:

I haven't reproduced these bugs because they're already public knowledge on
www.xinetd.org and on the xinetd mailing lists.  That doesn't mean that
keeping xinetd-2.3.0-3 instead of upgrading to 2.3.3 wouldn't be a serious
mistake.
