CVE-1999-1083

Summary

CVE-1999-1346 is a vulnerability affecting Red Hat Linux 6.1 and earlier versions. Despite disabling rlogin through the /etc/nologin file, a misconfiguration in the PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) file allows less restrictive access rules to take precedence over more restrictive ones. Consequently, users can still gain unauthorized access to the host via rlogin. This weakness exposes systems to potential security risks.
