Heimdal is a free implementation of Kerberos 5.

Affected packages

  1  app-crypt/heimdal           < 1.5.1-r1               >= 1.5.1-r1

Description
===========

A boundary error in the "encrypt_keyid()" function in
appl/telnet/libtelnet/encrypt.c of the telnet daemon and client could
cause a buffer overflow.

Impact
======

An unauthenticated remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary
code with the privileges of the user running the telnet daemon or
client, or cause Denial of Service.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
