[ug-bosug] Exploit for Telnet Vulnerability

[Ananth Shrinivas]

Hi List,

You *should* have disabled telnet on your solaris systems a few days
back when a vulnerability was reported. If you haven't please do so 
*NOW*. A worm that exploits the vulnerability is floating around.

"Use ssh instead of telnet" - has been the hoarse cry for many years 
now. Please wake up Rip Van Winkles :-)

S10 users who *cannot* replace telnet at any cost, please apply the 
appropriate patch from sunsolve:

sparc: 120068-02
x86  : 120069-02

Solaris Express/BeleniX/Nexenta and others:
# svcadm disable telnet
# svcadm enable ssh
