CVE-2000-0118

Summary

CVE-2000-0118 is a vulnerability affecting the Red Hat Linux su program. This issue allows local attackers to engage in brute force password guessing without logging, as the su process fails to record failed attempts if it is terminated prior to expiration. Consequently, an attacker can attempt numerous password combinations without leaving a trace, increasing the risk of unauthorized access. This vulnerability underscores the importance of proper configuration and monitoring of login processes to prevent potential security breaches.
