II - Introduction:
==================
After coding a vulnerability scanner for the security hole in most telnet
daemons under UNIX it was found that the Windows 2000 Telnet service to be
vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack.
This was tested against a Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 and all single patches
applied.


III - Description:
==================
This utility is meant to scan for the AYT vulnerability in telnet daemons
build upon the BSD source.


IV - Demonstration code

 * Telnetd AYT overflow scanner, by Security Point(R)
 *              Bug found by scut of TESO Security
 *
 * Date: 25/07/01
 * Author: Security Point(R)

 * Email: info@secpoint.com
 * 
 * This program checks for the AYT overflow related to the
 * newly discovered telnetd vulnerabilities.
 *
 * Tested against:
 *	Vulnerable:
 *		netkit-telnet-0.10
 *              FreeBSD 4.2
 *              Windows 2000 Service Pack2 Telnet service will 
 *              crash when scanned.
 *	Not vulnerable:
 *		netkit-telnet-0.17
 *
 *      
 *
 * Please keep us updated with the OS's that you check, and
 * report back to us on info@secpoint.com, weather the system 
 * is vulnerable or not. So we can construct a full list 
 * of vulnerable systems.
