Subject: [USN-101-1] telnet vulnerabilities

===========================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-101-1	     March 28, 2005
netkit-telnet vulnerabilities
CAN-2004-0911, CAN-2005-0469
===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)

The following packages are affected:

telnet
telnetd

The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 0.17-24ubuntu0.1.  In general, a standard system upgrade is
sufficient to effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

A buffer overflow was discovered in the telnet client's handling of
the LINEMODE suboptions. By sending a specially constructed reply
containing a large number of SLC (Set Local Character) commands, a
remote attacker (i. e. a malicious telnet server) could execute
arbitrary commands with the privileges of the user running the telnet
client. (CAN-2005-0469)

Michal Zalewski discovered a Denial of Service vulnerability in the
telnet server (telnetd). A remote attacker could cause the telnetd
process to free an invalid pointer, which caused the server process to
crash, leading to a denial of service (inetd will disable the service
if telnetd crashed repeatedly), or possibly the execution of arbitrary
code with the privileges of the telnetd process (by default,
the 'telnetd' user). Please note that the telnet server is not
officially supported by Ubuntu, it is in the "universe"
component. (CAN-2004-0911)
