CVE-1999-0185

Summary

CVE-1999-0185 is a significant vulnerability affecting SunOS and Solaris systems. It permits an unauthorized user on an FTP server to execute remote commands on a host running an rlogin server, which trusts the FTP server. By connecting from an FTP data port to the rlogin server, an attacker can gain unauthorized access and execute malicious commands, leading to potential data theft or unintended system modifications. This issue underscores the importance of securing both FTP and rlogin servers, especially when they reside on the same host or trust relationship exists between them.
