The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200504-04 (mit-krb5: Multiple buffer overflows in telnet client)

A buffer overflow has been identified in the env_opt_add()     function, where a response requiring excessive escaping can cause a     heap-based buffer overflow. Another issue has been identified in the     slc_add_reply() function, where a large number of SLC commands can     overflow a fixed size buffer.

Impact :

Successful exploitation would require a vulnerable user to connect     to an attacker-controlled telnet host, potentially executing arbitrary     code with the permissions of the telnet user on the client.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
