Well, this /is/ full-disclosure, no? Best to tell than to withhold.

And while I would hope that there aren't a rash of old-school
vulnerabilities blowing through the list, I, for one, was unaware that
you could specify telnet ports like that. I wouldn't be surprised if
I'm not alone. Now I'll know what's up if I ever see stuff like this.

Though it does worry me a bit that this came from a @cisco.com
address. Shouldn't they be kind of *YAWN* about all things networking?
