There are 3 open security issues in bullseye.
2 important issues:
- CVE-2026-32746:
telnetd in GNU inetutils through 2.7 allows an out-of-bounds write in the LINEMODE SLC (Set Local Characters) suboption handler because add_slc does not check whether the buffer is full.
- CVE-2026-32772:
telnet in GNU inetutils through 2.7 allows servers to read arbitrary environment variables from clients via NEW_ENVIRON SEND USERVAR.
1 ignored issue:
- CVE-2026-28372:
telnetd in GNU inetutils through 2.7 allows privilege escalation that can be exploited by abusing systemd service credentials support added to the login(1) implementation of util-linux in release 2.40. This is related to client control over the CREDENTIALS_DIRECTORY environment variable, and requires an unprivileged local user to create a login.noauth file.
