RHBA-2012:1312 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
telnet bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
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 telnetd daemon did not reuse previously created
entries in the /var/run/utmp file. Consequently, /var/run/utmp grew and
contained empty entries, eventually causing various other problems. With this
update, telnetd has been fixed to reuse entries in /var/run/utmp and behave like
other programs which use this file, thus preventing this bug. (BZ#860012)
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
