Topic

Updated telnet packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

Telnet is a popular protocol for logging in to remote systems over the Internet.
The telnet-server package includes a telnet service that supports remote logins
into the host machine. The telnet service is disabled by default.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Prior to this update, the in.telnetd service used the sockaddr structure to

store IPv6 addresses. This structure was too small in its size, and as a result,
subsequent logins wrote incorrect records about the last login source. With this
update, in.telnetd now uses the sockaddr_storage structure, which is large
enough in its size to be able to store IPv6 addresses. (BZ#678324)

All users of telnet are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259
