Description:

Gaδl Delalleau 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 0.17-18woody3.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.17-28.
We recommend that you upgrade your telnet package.
