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 :

  • CAN-2005-0468 Gael Delalleau discovered a buffer overflow in the env_opt_add() function that allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.

  • CAN-2005-0469

    Gael 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.
