+ <title>netkit-telnetd: Buffer overflow</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ The netkit-telnetd telnet client is vulnerable to a buffer overflow, which
+ could allow a malicious telnet server operator to execute arbitrary code.
+ </synopsis>
+ <product type="ebuild">netkit-telnetd</product>
+ <announced>March 31, 2005</announced>

+ <affected>
+ <package name="net-misc/netkit-telnetd" auto="yes" arch="*">

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ netkit-telnetd provides standard Linux telnet client and server.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ A buffer overflow has been identified in the slc_add_reply()
+ function of netkit-telnetd client, where a large number of SLC commands
+ can overflow a fixed size buffer.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ Successful explotation would require a vulnerable user to connect
+ to an attacker-controlled host using telnet, potentially executing
+ arbitrary code with the permissions of the telnet user.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All netkit-telnetd users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-misc/netkit-telnetd-0.17-r6&quot;</code>
