Have Telnet, Get Pwned

A series of two simple and trivial exploit for the Solaris has surfaced recently. One is an icmp induced DOS and the other is a remote exploit using telnet!

Hearing about things like this makes me agree that we are losing the war on IT security. But then again, these attacks are not difficult to avoid. Haven't your mother taught you not to use telnet especially on internet facing systems?
