Just found a strange bug in Cisco CBOS on the Cisco 677 ADSL router.

cbos#sh ver

Cisco Broadband Operating System
CBOS (tm) 677 Software (C677-I-M), Version v2.3.0.053 - Release Software

I had doing a "sh nat" with a very long listing in one telnet session.

When I telnetted from another machine, the c677 switched output to
that connection before prompting for password.

The listing would continue in whatever telnet window had the last
keypress. Also seemd to screw up something on the first terminal.

I see this as a serious security flaw.
