Gentoo: 200410-03 High: NetKit-telnetd Buffer Overflow Threat

Buffer overflows exist in the telnet client and daemon provided by netkit-telnetd, which could possibly allow a remote attacker to gain root privileges and compromise the system.

Background ========= NetKit-telnetd is a standard Linux telnet client and server from the NetKit utilities. Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-misc/netkit-telnetd = 0.17-r4 Description ========== A possible buffer overflow exists in the parsing of option strings by the telnet daemon, where proper bounds checking is not applied when writing to a buffer. Additionaly, another possible buffer overflow has been found by Josh Martin in the handling of the environment variable HOME. Impact ===== A remote attacker sending a specially-crafted options string to the telnet daemon could be able to run arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the telnet daemon, usually root. Furthermore, an attacker could make use of an overlong HOME variable to cause a buffer overflow in the telnet client, potentially leading to thelocal execution of arbitrary code. Workaround ========= There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========= All NetKit-telnetd users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge sync # emerge -pv "> =net-misc/netkit-telnetd-0.17-r4" # emerge "> =net-misc/netkit-telnetd-0.17-r4" References ========= [ 1 ] CVE-2001-0554 [ 2 ] Debian Bug #264846 Availability =========== This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/200410-03 Concerns? ======== Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.

Debian Potato DSA-075-1 Critical: Netkit-Telnet-SSL Remote Exploit

The telnet daemon contained in the netkit-telnet-ssl_0.16.3-1 package in the 'stable' (potato) distribution of Debian GNU/Linux is vulnerable to an exploitable overflow in its output handling.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory DSA-075-1 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Debian -- Security Information Robert van der Meulen August 14, 2001 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Package : netkit-telnet-ssl Problem type : remote exploit Debian-specific: no The telnet daemon contained in the netkit-telnet-ssl_0.16.3-1 package in the 'stable' (potato) distribution of Debian GNU/Linux is vulnerable to an exploitable overflow in its output handling. The original bug was found by , and announced to bugtraq on Jul 18 2001. At that time, netkit-telnet versions after 0.14 were not believed to be vulnerable. On Aug 10 2001, zen-parse posted an advisory based on the same problem, for all netkit-telnet versions below 0.17. More details can be found on . As Debian uses the 'telnetd' user to run in.telnetd, this is not a remote root compromise on Debian systems; the 'telnetd' user can be compromised. We strongly advise you update your netkit-telnet-ssl packages to the versions listed below. wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file.
