Descriptions

builtins.c in Xinetd before 2.3.15 does not check the service type when the tcpmux-server service is enabled, which exposes all enabled services and allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via a request to tcpmux port 1.

builtins.c de Xinetd en versiones anteriores a la 2.3.15 no comprueba el tipo de servicio cuando el servicio tcpmux-server está habilitado, lo que expone todos los servicios habilitados y permite a atacantes remotos evitar las restricciones de acceso previstas a través de una petición a tcpmux puerto 1.
