I was under the impression that the CVE was already fixed in version 2.3.15, but it's not. I took the patch from github (it's already in the master branch, there's just no recent release). > And applied as 000009-TCPMUX by Debian, along with some other > patches > that should be evaluated: > > https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/xinetd.git/tree/debian/patches I've added a patch that fixes a file descriptor leak (and created a pull request for it). There's also a patch to fix compilation on hurd, but that's probably something that should be fixed upstream? The other patches are corrections to the man pages, which have made it into upstream master as well, so perhaps we do not need to add them all to Guix.
