<title>telnet-bsd: Multiple buffer overflows</title>
<synopsis>
The telnet-bsd telnet client is vulnerable to two buffer overflows, which
could allow a malicious telnet server operator to execute arbitrary code.

<affected>
<package name="net-misc/telnet-bsd" auto="yes" arch="*">
<unaffected range="ge">1.0-r1</unaffected>

<background>
<p>
telnet-bsd provides a command line telnet client which is used for
remote login using the telnet protocol.
</p>

<description>
<p>
A buffer overflow has been identified in the env_opt_add()
function of telnet-bsd, where a response requiring excessive escaping
can cause a heap-based buffer overflow. Another issue has been
identified in the slc_add_reply() function, where a large number of SLC
commands can overflow a fixed size buffer.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
Successful exploitation 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 telnet-bsd users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-misc/telnet-bsd-1.0-r1&quot;</code>
</resolution>
