Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-3611-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'inetutils' package(s) announced via the DLA-3611-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'inetutils' package(s) announced via the DLA-3611-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Security issues were discovered in inetutils, a collection of GNU network utilities, which could lead to privilege escalation or potentially execution of arbitrary code. CVE-2019-0053 Thorsten Alteholz discovered that CVE-2019-0053 was patched incorrectly in inetutils 2:1.9.4-7+deb10u2. The original vulnerability remained: inetutils' telnet client doesn't sufficiently validate environment variables, which can lead to stack-based buffer overflows. (This issue is limited to local exploitation from restricted shells.) CVE-2023-40303 Jeffrey Bencteux discovered that several setuid(), setgid(), seteuid() and setguid() return values were not checked in ftpd/rcp/rlogin/rsh/rshd/uucpd code, which may lead to privilege escalation. For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 2:1.9.4-7+deb10u3. We recommend that you upgrade your inetutils packages.
