Description:

Several problems have been discovered in telnet clients that could be
exploited by malicious daemons the client connects to. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following
problems:
Gaδl Delalleau discovered a buffer overflow in the env_opt_add()
function that allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
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) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.2.4-5woody8.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.3.6-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your krb5 package.
