+  <title>NetKit-telnetd: buffer overflows in telnet and telnetd</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    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>
+    <p>
+    NetKit-telnetd is a standard Linux telnet client and server from the NetKit
+    utilities.

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    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.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>
+    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 the local execution of arbitrary
+    code.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All NetKit-telnetd users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
