telnet client program.

<description>
<p>
Buffer overflow vulnerabilities in the slc_add_reply() and
env_opt_add() functions have been discovered by Gael Delalleau in the
telnet client in Heimdal.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
Successful exploitation would require a vulnerable user to connect
to an attacker-controlled host using the telnet client, potentially
executing arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running the
application.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Heimdal users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-crypt/heimdal-0.6.4&quot;</code>
</resolution>
