The telnetd from netkit does not appear to be affected.


The patch seems to be applicable though, probably you need to do
something else to make it segfault?


Our version of netkit (which we once got from
<ftp://ftp.uk.linux.org/pub/linux/Networking/netkit/>) lacks Kerberos
support entirely.

From what i see, if your telnetd can do encrypted connections, then itis affected.

However netkit telnet clients dont have support for encryption, so usingthe telnet client out of box is not going to work.
