CVE-2000-0118

Summary

CVE-2000-0118 is a vulnerability affecting the Red Hat Linux su program. If an attacker manages to kill the su process before it times out, the program will not log failed password guesses. This allows for unlimited attempts to guess the password, making it easier for local attackers to gain unauthorized access to the system through brute force methods. This issue highlights the importance of proper logging and system monitoring to detect and prevent such attacks.
