Summary

CVE-1999-1025 is a vulnerability affecting the CDE screen lock program, specifically on Solaris 2.6 systems. The issue lies in the fact that the program does not adequately secure unprivileged console sessions for NIS+ clients. Consequently, an attacker with physical access to the system can bypass the screen lock and log in using any username and password. This vulnerability poses a significant risk, as an unauthorized user can potentially gain full system access, leading to potential data breaches or other malicious activities.
