Denial of Service Attack on DG/UX inetd
A Denial of Service (DoS) attack is possible with the default version of inetd distributed with Data General's DG/UX operating system. By performing a scan utilizing nmap's OS detection option (-O), the inetd daemon is put in a state where it will no longer spawn new services without being restarted.
Mitigation:
Restarting the inetd daemon will resolve the issue.
