Description

A remote overflow exists in multiple BSD-based telnet daemons. The 'telrcv' function fails to perform proper bounds checking resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted request, a remote attacker can cause arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity.

Classification

Attack Type: Input Manipulation
Impact: Loss of Integrity
