FreeBSD Security Advisory FreeBSD-SA-01:47 - The xinetd port, versions prior to xinetd-2.3.0, contains a potentially exploitable buffer overflow in the logging routines. If xinetd is configured to log the userid of remote clients obtained via the RFC1413 ident service, a remote user may be able to cause xinetd to crash by returning a specially-crafted ident response. This may also potentially execute arbitrary code as the user running xinetd, normally root.
