Apparently, Dave Ahmad wrote: % % These may be fixes for this vulnerablity, however they apply to telnetd % and this vulnerability has to be in login. So it makes more sense to apply the right patches to login, and not patches to telnetd. If you only want to install the necessary patches to plug this specific hole, very quickly, use these: solaris 8 login fix: 111085-02 solaris 7 login fix: 112300-01 solaris 2.6 login fix: 105665-04 solaris 2.5.1 login fix: 106160-02 use patchadd. A reboot is not necessary. During your normal maintenance window you should install the rest of the recommended patches.
