Yea, turn off the ``all user'' flag to fingerd:
man 8 fingerd:
     -s      Enable secure mode.  Queries without a user name are rejected and
             forwarding of queries to other remote hosts is denied.

grep fingerd /etc/inetd.conf:
finger  stream  tcp     nowait  nobody  /usr/libexec/fingerd    fingerd -s
