CVE-1999-1075

Summary

CVE-1999-1075 is a vulnerability affecting AIX 4.1.5's inetd service. Inetd inadvertently listens on port N-1 when starting ttdbserver, even though it doesn't pass control to the server. This error allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by flooding connections to the unassigned port, which inetd fails to close properly. This issue potentially exposes systems to significant network congestion and potential service disruptions.
