CVE-2000-0093

Summary

CVE-2000-0093 is a vulnerability affecting certain installations of Red Hat. Instead of using the more secure MD5 encryption for passwords, this system employs the DES algorithm with the crypt() function during the initial password setup. This weakness in encryption can make passwords more susceptible to being cracked, potentially leading to unauthorized system access. It is essential for affected systems to be updated with a patch or configuration change to mitigate this risk.
