package/xinetd: add upstream security fix for CVE-2013-4342

xinetd does not enforce the user and group configuration directives for
TCPMUX services, which causes these services to be run as root and makes it
easier for remote attackers to gain privileges by leveraging another
vulnerability in a service.

+Subject: [PATCH] CVE-2013-4342: xinetd: ignores user and group directives for
+ TCPMUX services
+
+Originally reported to Debian in 2005 <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=324678> and rediscovered <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1006100>, xinetd would execute TCPMUX services without dropping privilege to match the service configuration allowing the service to run with same privilege as the xinetd process (root).
