Summary

CVE-2000-0112 is a vulnerability affecting the default installation of Debian GNU/Linux. The weakness lies in the use of an insecure Master Boot Record (MBR), which enables a local user to boot from a floppy disk during the installation process. This could potentially allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to the system and install malicious software. Users are advised to secure their MBR or upgrade to a more secure version to mitigate the risk of exploitation.
