Fedora Core 2 Update: telnet-0.17-28.FC2.1

March 30, 2005

Two buffer overflow flaws were discovered in the way the telnet client handles messages from a server

Summary

Telnet is a popular protocol for logging into remote systems over the

Internet. The telnet package provides a command line telnet client.

Two buffer overflow flaws were discovered in the way the telnet client

handles messages from a server. An attacker may be able to execute

arbitrary code on a victim's machine if the victim can be tricked into

connecting to a malicious telnet server. The Common Vulnerabilities and

Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CAN-2005-0468

and CAN-2005-0469 to these issues.

Red Hat would like to thank iDEFENSE for their responsible disclosure of

this issue.

- fixed CAN-2005-468 and CAN-2005-469
