Synopsis
telnet bug fix updates
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated telnet packages that fix various bugs is now available.
Description
Telnet is a popular protocol for logging into remote systems over the
Internet. The telnet package provides a command line telnet client.
This updated version of telnet addresses the following issues:
- a rare infinite loop in the client has been fixed.
- if the telnet configuration file -- /etc/xinetd.d/telnet -- was modified,
running the "rpm -V" command on the package returned spurious "file Size"
and "mTime" differs errors, since the configuration file is
user-modifiable by design. The updated package's spec file now marks the
/etc/xinetd.d/telnet to not be verified when "rpm -V" is run.
All telnet users should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolves
these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
