CVE-2000-0369

Summary

CVE-2000-0369 is a denial-of-service vulnerability affecting the IDENT server in Caldera Linux 2.3. This issue arises due to the server creating multiple threads for each IDENT request, enabling remote attackers to overload the system with excessive requests and cause a denial of service. The IDENT protocol is used for identifying network users, and the vulnerability can be exploited by sending a large number of IDENT requests to the affected system, resulting in a service disruption. This issue can lead to significant downtime and impact network availability. It is recommended that users update their Caldera Linux systems to a version that addresses this vulnerability.
