Package: diald
Version: 0.99.4-5
Severity: normal
Tags: security
I have a server that also provides access to the internet using ppp and
diald. When I attempt to telnet into this server from another host that
is on the internal lan, diald brings up ppp and blocks the telnet logon
conversation until ppp is up. I know this because I watch the external
modem, and listen to its loudspeaker. When I shut down the diald deamon,
telnet login happens lightening fast. This seems like the "bug"
concerning igmp and icmp, but a different protocol which I have not the
skill to discover.
Why the security tag? When ones lan connection comes up and one doesn't
know why, one wonders. Call it a peace of mind problem, if you don't
feel it is really a security issue.
I also have netatalk installed on the server. Diald also brings up ppp
when I login to apple file sharing on this server. This may help narrow
the field of protocols that need to be investigated.
I volunteer my time and my system for investigating this.
