CVE-2000-0338
MediumCVSS 5.5Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Elevated risk68th percentile - higher than 68% of all known CVEs
Summary
Concurrent Versions Software (CVS) uses predictable temporary file names for locking, which allows local users to cause a denial of service by creating the lock directory before it is created for use by a legitimate CVS user.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can block access to CVS functions, leading to downtime for users and potential losses for the organization.
Recommendation
It is recommended to change the method of generating temporary file names in CVS to make them less predictable and to monitor access to the system by local users.

SEPPmail Secure Email Gateway before 15.1.1 trusts a file path supplied in externally provided Large File Transfer attachment metadata. An unauthenticated remote sender can cause the mail-processing worker to disclose, move, or delete an accessible regular file when LFT is enabled and the message reaches an affected secure-mail processing path. The validated workers ran as root.

SEPPmail Secure Email Gateway before 15.1.1 can evaluate attacker-influenced replacement text as Perl code in sender or recipient replacement rules. An unauthenticated remote sender can execute operating-system commands in the mail-processing worker context when an active rule uses message-derived replacement data and its search condition matches. The validated worker context was root.
