Last modified

CVE-1999-1100 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. 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.. EPSS estimates a 1.36% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
