   An update that fixes two vulnerabilities is now available.

Description:


   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.

   Security Issues:

       * CVE-2013-4342
