ELA-1057-1 inetutils security update

Package : inetutils
Version : 2:1.9.2.39.3a460-3+deb8u2 (jessie)

Related CVEs :
CVE-2019-0053
CVE-2021-40491
CVE-2022-39028
CVE-2023-40303

Multiple vulnerabilities were found in the inetutils package, a collection
of common network programs.

CVE-2019-0053
A stack-based overflow is present in the handling of environment variables
when connecting via the telnet client to remote telnet servers. This issue
only affects the telnet client — accessible from the CLI or shell — in
Junos OS. Inbound telnet services are not affected by this issue.

CVE-2021-40491
The ftp client in inetutils does not validate addresses returned by
PASV/LSPV responses to make sure they match the server address.

CVE-2022-39028
telnetd in inetutils has a NULL pointer dereference via 0xff 0xf7 or 0xff
0xf8. In a typical installation, the telnetd application would crash but
the telnet service would remain available through inetd. However, if the
telnetd application has many crashes within a short time interval, the
telnet service would become unavailable after inetd logs a “telnet/tcp
server failing (looping), service terminated” error.

CVE-2023-40303
inetutils may allow privilege escalation because of unchecked return values
of set*id() family functions in ftpd, rcp, rlogin, rsh, rshd, and uucpd.
This is, for example, relevant if the setuid system call fails when a
process is trying to drop privileges before letting an ordinary user
control the activities of the process.
