Telnet is one of the oldest Internet protocols and the most popular program for remote access to Unix machines. It has numerous security vulnerabilities [RFC 854]
Trojans that also use this port: ADM worm, Aphex's Remote Packet Sniffer , AutoSpY, ButtMan, Fire HacKer, My Very Own trojan, Pest, RTB 666, Tiny Telnet Server - TTS, Truva Atl, Backdoor.Delf variants, Backdoor.Dagonit (109.26.2005)
Stack-based buffer overflow in RabidHamster R2/Extreme 1.65 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a long string to TCP port 23.
References: [CVE-2012-1222] [BID-52061]
The Emerson DeltaV SE3006 through 11.3.1, DeltaV VE3005 through 10.3.1 and 11.x through 11.3.1, and DeltaV VE3006 through 10.3.1 and 11.x through 11.3.1 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device restart) via a crafted packet on (1) TCP port 23, (2) UDP port 161, or (3) TCP port 513.
References: [CVE-2012-4703]
Buffer overflow in the Remote command server (Rcmd.bat) in IpTools (aka Tiny TCP/IP server) 0.1.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a long string to TCP port 23.
References: [CVE-2012-5345]
Hospira Lifecare PCA infusion pump running "SW ver 412" does not require authentication for Telnet sessions, which allows remote attackers to gain root privileges via TCP port 23.
References: [CVE-2015-3459]
Zhuhai RaySharp firmware has a hardcoded root password, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access via a session on TCP port 23 or 9000.
References [CVE-2015-8286]
Hughes satellite modems contains default telnet service (port 23) account credentials. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain administrative access on affected devices.

SANS Internet Storm Center: port 23
Notes:
Well Known Ports: 0 through 1023.
Registered Ports: 1024 through 49151.
Dynamic/Private : 49152 through 65535.
TCP ports use the Transmission Control Protocol. TCP is the most commonly used protocol
on the Internet and any TCP/IP network. Whereas the IP protocol deals only with packets, TCP enables two hosts
to establish a connection and exchange streams of data. TCP guarantees delivery of data
and that packets will be delivered in the same order in which they were sent.
Guaranteed communication/delivery is the key difference between TCP and UDP.
UDP ports use the Datagram Protocol, a communications protocol for the Internet network,
transport, and session layers. Like TCP (Transmission Control Protocol),
UDP is used with IP (the Internet Protocol) and makes possible the transmission of datagrams
from one computer to applications on another computer, but unlike TCP, UDP is connectionless
and does not guarantee reliable communication; it's up to the application that received
the message to process any errors and verify correct delivery. UDP is often used with time-sensitive
applications, such as audio/video streaming, where dropping some packets is preferable to waiting for delayed data.
When troubleshooting unknown open ports, it is useful to find exactly what services/processes are listening to them.
This can be accomplished in both Windows command prompt and Linux variants using the "netstat -aon" command.
We also recommend runnig multiple anti-virus/anti-malware scans to rule out the possibility of active malicious software.
