Just curious... why is it necessary to rebuild the whole operating
system? Normally, the security advisories just have you rebuild the
program in question - wouldn't that have sufficed here?

I think, this might be enought:

 cd /usr/src/usr.bin/telnet ; make clean && make all install

 but I don't exactly know, if this is really correct way how to do
 it..

This way is incorrect in two aspects. First, you'll have to compile libtelnet first:

cd /usr/src/lib/libtelnet
make obj && make depend && make
cd /usr/src/usr.bin/telnet
make obj && make depend && make && make install

But second is that you'll get telnet w/o data encryption support, which isn't
what you want (unless you have NOCRYPT=true in your /etc/make.conf).
You can recompile telnet properly (in the typical case: no NOCRYPT and
no MAKE_KERBEROS[45] either) using the following commands:

cd /usr/src/secure/lib/libtelnet
make obj && make depend && make
cd /usr/src/secure/usr.bin/telnet
make obj && make depend && make && make install

However, I can overlook something more, so I'm giving no warranties at all...

Sincerely, Dmitry
