Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-11-13 16:32:09 UTC
C-Kermit 6.0.192 before 11.1.515 contains a buffer overflow vulnerability in tn_snenv() in ckctel.c that allows malicious Telnet servers to corrupt client memory via crafted NEW-ENVIRON SEND subnegotiation. Malicious or machine-in-the-middle servers can send oversized variable names before authentication, overflowing a 16-byte stack buffer and a miscomputed heap buffer to corrupt stack and heap memory.
