CVE-2000-0356

Summary

CVE-2000-0356 is a vulnerability affecting the Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) in Red Hat Linux 6.1. This issue allows unauthorized access to disabled Network Information Service (NIS) accounts, as the PAM fails to adequately secure them. An attacker could exploit this weakness to gain entry into the system using previously disabled NIS accounts, potentially compromising sensitive data or gaining privileged access. System administrators should promptly apply the available patch or upgrade to a more recent version of Red Hat Linux to mitigate this risk.
