iOS apps are heavily sandboxed, have non-executable memory pages, can't even run in the background, this library doesn't implement a shell at all, etc... so what would be a "massive" security hole here? Of course, it could be used poorly, like a number of other libraries (not validating HTTPS certs anyone?), and introduce a security issue which would only have an effect in apps that deal with sensitive data and transmit said data using this Telnet library. IMO it's no different from running, say, an HTTP web server from an iOS app which a number do.
