<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>
</resolution>
