"The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
AXSA:2014-006:01 advisory.
Xinetd is a secure replacement for inetd, the Internet services daemon. Xinetd provides access control for
all services based on the address of the remote host and/or on time of access and can prevent denial-of-
access attacks. Xinetd provides extensive logging, has no limit on the number of server arguments, and
lets you bind specific services to specific IP addresses on your host machine. Each service has its own
specific configuration file for Xinetd; the files are located in the /etc/xinetd.d directory.
Security issues fixed with this release:
CVE-2013-4342
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.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
