A vulnerability was found where incorrect bounds checks in the telnet server’s (telnetd) handling of short writes and urgent data, could lead to information disclosure and corruption of heap data. An unauthenticated remote attacker could exploit these bugs by sending specially crafted telnet packets to achieve arbitrary code execution in the telnet server.
Mitigation
When in enforcing mode, SELinux as configured in Red Hat Enterprise Linux provides some mitigation against an exploit for telnet-server, because it limits the kind of operations it can perform and programs that can be run from the telnet-server's context.
