CVE-2000-1009
HighSummary
In Red Hat Linux 6.2, there is a vulnerability that relies on the pathname specified by the RSH environmental variable. This allows local users to gain root privileges by modifying the RSH variable to point to a Trojan horse program.
Risk Assessment
This vulnerability poses a serious security risk as local users can gain unauthorized access to administrator privileges.
Recommendation
It is recommended to restrict access to the RSH variable and to monitor and control its value to prevent exploitation of this vulnerability.
