The Telnet server does not return an expected number of replies
when it receives a long sequence of 'Are You There' commands.
This probably means it overflows one of its internal buffers and
crashes. It is likely an attacker could abuse this bug to gain
control over the remote host's superuser.

For more information, see:
http://www.team-teso.net/advisories/teso-advisory-011.tar.gz

Solution: Comment out the 'telnet' line in /etc/inetd.conf.

# This helper function counts AYT responses in the input stream.
# The input is read until 1. the expected number of responses is found,
# or 2. EOF or read timeout occurs.
#
# At this moment, any occurence of "Yes" or "yes" is supposed to be such
# a response. Of course, this is wrong: some FreeBSD was observed to react
# with "load: 0.12  cmd: .log 20264 [running] 0.00u 0.00s 0% 620k"
# when the telnet negotiation have been completed. Unfortunately, adding
# another pattern to this code would be too painful (hence the negotiation
# tricks in attack()).
#
# In order to avoid an infinite loop (when testing a host that generates
# lots of junk, intentionally or unintentionally), I stop when I have read
# more than 100 * max bytes.
#
# Please note builtin functions like ereg() or egrep() cannot be used
# here (easily) because they choke on '\0' and many telnet servers send
# this character
