Insight
Insight
iDEFENSE researchers discovered a buffer overflow in the handling of the LINEMODE suboptions in telnet clients. This can lead to the execution of arbitrary code when connected to a malicious server. For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 0.17.17+0.1-2woody4. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your telnet-ssl package.
