Description:
Ubuntu has acknowledged a vulnerability in tcp-wrappers, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error within the "daemon_or_port_match()" function in host_access.c when handling connections to services that have no server socket details specified in the hosts.deny file. This can be exploited to connect to services from locations which were intended to be blocked.
