CVE-1999-1582

Summary

CVE-1999-1582 is a vulnerability affecting the "established" command on Cisco PIX firewalls. By design, this command permits connections from one host to any port on a target host if an alternative conduit has previously been authorized. This can lead administrators to unintentionally configure less restrictive access controls due to an misunderstanding of this functionality. This vulnerability may pose a risk to network security if misconfigured, making it essential for organizations using Cisco PIX firewalls to thoroughly understand this command's implications.
