At least CAN-2004-0642 seems to affect the library as well, so it 
could be an attack vector.  I have not analyzed the code to see if 
this is true or not.  This may also be possible for some of the other 
CAN's.

By the way, #154276 (waiting for publish) includes superset of fixes, 
also bugfixing the two telnet client vulnerabilities.  I suggest folks 
give it a PUBLISH and after it has been rebuilt for updates-testing, 
verify it instead.
