  <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>
