Fedora Project Information for VU#220816

Date Notified:2007-03-21
Date Updated:
Statement Date:
Status Summary:Vulnerable

Vendor Statement

The Fedora Project ships the krb5 telnet daemon in all versions of Fedora Core. Updated packages to correct this issue are available for Fedora Core 5 and 6 along with our advisories at the URLs below:

Fedora Core 6:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-package-announce/2007-April/msg00008.html

Fedora Core 5:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-package-announce/2007-April/msg00009.html

This update can also be installed with the 'yum' update program.

Note that the krb5 telnet daemon is not enabled by default in any version of Fedora Core. In addition, the default firewall rules block remote access to the telnet port. This flaw does not affect the telnet daemon distributed in the telnet-server package.
