CVE-1999-1346

Summary

CVE-1999-1346: A vulnerability was identified in the PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) configuration file for rlogin in Red Hat Linux 6.1 and earlier versions. Contrary to the expected security configuration, a less permissive rule was found to precede a more restrictive one. As a result, users could access the host via rlogin, despite rlogin being explicitly disabled using the /etc/nologin file. This misconfiguration poses a significant risk to system security, allowing unauthorized access.
