Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2002-1199 is an information-disclosure flaw in ypxfrd, a legacy NIS/YP transfer service. Attackers may read files or databases outside the intended NIS directory. Business risk depends on whether legacy NIS is still deployed and reachable. Exposure is most likely on legacy Unix/Linux systems running vulnerable ypxfrd/NIS services, especially if reachable from untrusted networks. The provided record does not enumerate affected products or versions. Prioritize if the organization still operates legacy NIS/YP infrastructure. The issue can expose sensitive system databases, but urgency is lower where ypxfrd is absent, disabled, or isolated. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems running NIS/YP and ypxfrd.; Check and apply relevant vendor guidance or updates.; Disable ypxfrd where NIS map transfer is not required..
