"zen-parse reported on bugtraq that there is a possible buffer
 overflow in the logging code from xinetd. This could be triggered by
 using a fake identd that returns special replies when xinetd does an
 ident request.

Another problem is that xinetd sets it umask to 0. As a result any
programs that xinetd start that are not careful with file permissions
will create world-writable files.

Both problems have been fixed in version 2.1.8.8.p3-1.1."
