CVE-1999-1346

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) configuration file for rlogin allows unauthorized users to gain access via rlogin. The less restrictive rule precedes the more restrictive one, enabling access even when rlogin should be disabled. This issue poses a significant security risk as it bypasses the intended access control.
