NOTE: This DLA was intially sent on 2020-04-14 but for reasons unknown
failed to reach the mailing list.  It is being re-sent now to ensure
that it appears in the mailing list archive.  No new version of
inetutils has been published since version 2:1.9.2.39.3a460-3+deb8u1
described in the original advisory.

A vulnerability was discovered in the telnetd component of inetutils, a
collection of network utilities.  Execution of arbitrary remote code was
possible through short writes or urgent data.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", this problem has been fixed in version
2:1.9.2.39.3a460-3+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your inetutils packages.
