Solaris Telnet 0-day vulnerability 342

Posted by Hemos on Monday February 12, 2007 @09:40AM from the frantically-trying-to-fix dept.

philos writes "According to SANS ISC, there's a vulnerability in Solaris 10 and 11 telnet that allows anyone to remotely connect as any account, including root, without authentication. Remote access can be gained with nothing more than a telnet client. More information and a Snort signature can be found at riosec.com. Worse, this is almost identical to a bug in AIX and Linux rlogin from way back in 1994."
