Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2007-4601

A regression error in tcp-wrappers 7.6.dbs-10 and 7.6.dbs-11 does not properly handle connections to services that use libwrap but do not specify server connection information, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions.

Comment 1 Lubomir Kundrak 2007-08-31 16:08:45 UTC
Not vulnerable. This issue was specific to a patch from Debian project and did
not affect versions of tcp_wrappers packages as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise
Linux.
