CVE-1999-0641

Summary

CVE-1999-0641 refers to a vulnerability in outdated Unix-to-Unix Copy Protocol (UUCP) services. This issue arises due to the absence of proper input validation, enabling an attacker to inject malicious commands through specially crafted emails. Successful exploitation could result in arbitrary code execution and potentially granting the attacker full system access. Despite UUCP being largely replaced by other protocols, many legacy systems continue to run this service, making it essential to apply the available patches to mitigate this threat.
