The link: 
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-01:49.telnetd.v1.1.asc 
has the information in it pertaining to the telnetd exploit. It is a PGP 
signed message. You may also use a text editor to open the file and read 
about the fix for the exploit.

For the best results, IMHO migrate away from telnetd and try to use 
OpenSSHd whenever possible. Telnetd is simply too easy to exploit. Again, 
this is my opinion and not the opinion of others.
