    Vulnerability Name:

    CVE-2004-0243 (CCN-15172)

    Assigned:2004-02-11
    Published:2004-02-11
    Updated:2004-02-11
    Summary:IBM AIX could allow a remote attacker to determine valid passwords. If an account is disabled for remote login and an attacker supplies a valid username, AIX sends a different response depending on whether an invalid or valid password is submitted. This could allow a remote attacker to determine valid passwords and possibly gain unauthorized access to the system.
