"When xinetd services are configured with the 'TCPMUX' or 'TCPMUXPLUS'
type, and the tcpmux-server service is enabled, those services are
accessible via port 1. It was found that enabling the tcpmux-server
service (it is disabled by default) allowed every xinetd service,
including those that are not configured with the 'TCPMUX' or
'TCPMUXPLUS' type, to be accessible via port 1. This could allow a
remote attacker to bypass intended firewall restrictions.
(CVE-2012-0862)

This update also fixes the following bugs :

  - Prior to this update, a file descriptor array in the
    service.c source file was not handled as expected. As a
    consequence, some of the descriptors remained open when
    xinetd was under heavy load. Additionally, the system
    log was filled with a large number of messages that took
    up a lot of disk space over time. This update modifies
    the xinetd code to handle the file descriptors correctly
    and messages no longer fill the system log.

  - Prior to this update, services were disabled permanently
    when their CPS limit was reached. As a consequence, a
    failed bind operation could occur when xinetd attempted
    to restart the service. This update adds additional
    logic that attempts to restart the service. Now, the
    service is only disabled if xinetd cannot restart the
    service after 30 attempts."
