Multiple Vendor Telnet Client LINEMODE Sub-Options Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

A remote buffer-overflow vulnerability affects multiple vendors' Telnet client. This issue is due to the application's failure to properly validate the length of user-supplied strings before copying them into static process buffers.

An attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user that activated the vulnerable application. This may facilitate unauthorized access or privilege escalation.
