"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in
the RHSA-2020:1318 advisory.
Telnet is a popular protocol for logging in to remote systems over the Internet. The telnet-server
packages include a telnet service that supports remote logins into the host machine. The telnet service is
disabled by default.
Security Fix(es):
* telnet-server: no bounds checks in nextitem() function allows to remotely execute arbitrary code
(CVE-2020-10188)
For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and
other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
