CVE-2001-0597
HighSummary
Zetetic Secure Tool for Recalling Important Passwords (STRIP) version 0.5 and earlier for PalmOS allows a local attacker to recover passwords via a brute force attack. This is made feasible by STRIP's use of SysRandom, seeded by TimeGetTicks, and an implementation flaw that significantly reduces the password search space.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can easily recover passwords, leading to potential breaches of user data security. Organizations using this application may be at risk of confidential information theft.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update to a newer version of STRIP that addresses this vulnerability or to use alternative password management tools. Additionally, consider implementing stronger security mechanisms for stored passwords.

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.

Zetetic Secure Tool for Recalling Important Passwords (STRIP) 0.5 and earlier for the PalmOS allows a local attacker to recover passwords via a brute force attack. This attack is made feasible by STRIP's use of SysRandom, which is seeded by TimeGetTicks, and an implementation flaw which vastly reduces the password 'search space'.
