SUSE Security Update: Security update for xinetd
Xinetd receives a LTSS roll-up update to fix two security issues.
* CVE-2012-0862: xinetd enabled all services when tcp multiplexing is
used.
* CVE-2013-4342: xinetd ignored user and group directives for tcpmux
services, running services as root.
While both issues are not so problematic on their own, in combination the
impact is greater and enabling tcpmux would be risky.
