CVE-1999-1100

CVE-1999-1100 affects Cisco PIX Private Link 4.1.6 and earlier. The vulnerability arises because certain configuration-file commands cause the DES key length to effectively shrink from 56 bits to 48 bits, easing brute-force key discovery. This is the root cause and the primary impact described in...

CVE-1999-1100

Cisco PIX Private Link 4.1.6 and earlier does not properly process certain commands in the configuration file, which reduces the effective key length of the DES key to 48 bits instead of 56 bits, which makes it easier for an attacker to find the proper key via a brute force attack...
