You're referring to CVE-2020-10188? Who that is sane runs telnetd these days, or lets it past their firewalls? It's an unencrypted protocol vulnerable to packet sniffing. I'm afraid it's a poor example of the benefits of SELinux: if you're running telnetd, you generally have *much* bigger problems. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
