Synopsis: Security problem with DNS resolution State-Changed-From-To: open-closed State-Changed-By: thepish State-Changed-When: Wed Jul 29 06:42:38 PDT 1998 State-Changed-Why: Neither telnetd or rlogind produce the reported fault in 2.2.7. Examining their source, both do precisely what submitter suggests ie if gethostbyaddr returns a NULL, the IP address is strncpy-ed into the ut_host field (consistent with the behaviour I see when I try it). Examination of the cvs log (and brief examination of committed versions) around the time of the report did not reveal exactly where the bug was active. I think the window must have been brief.
