TESO in.telnetd buffer overflow

Vulnerability Assessment Summary Attempts to overflow the Telnet server buffer Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The Telnet server does not return an expected number of replies when it receives a long sequence of 'Are You There' commands. This probably means it overflows one of its internal buffers and crashes. It is likely a possible hacker could abuse this bug to gain control over the remote host's superuser. For more information, see: http://www.team-teso.net/advisories/teso-advisory-011.tar.gz Solution: Comment out the 'telnet' line in /etc/inetd.conf.
