CVE-1999-0151

Summary

CVE-1999-0151 is a vulnerability affecting the SATAN (Security Administrator Tool for Analyzing Networks) tool. This issue arises when the session key used during a SATAN scan is not properly protected. If a user visits other websites while a SATAN scan is running in the background, an attacker may be able to intercept and obtain the session key. This could potentially grant the attacker unauthorized root access to the targeted system. It is crucial for users to complete SATAN scans without interrupting their web browsing activities to mitigate this risk.
