Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2002-1392 affects mgetty faxspool before 1.1.29. Its outgoing fax spool directory was world-writable, allowing local users on the system to alter fax transmission privileges. The issue matters mainly where legacy Unix/Linux systems still run mgetty fax services with multiple local users. Exposure is most likely on legacy Linux/Unix hosts running mgetty faxspool before 1.1.29, especially multi-user systems or servers retaining fax-modem workflows. Modern environments without mgetty fax services are unlikely to be exposed. Treat as a legacy exposure cleanup item, not an internet emergency. Prioritize if fax services remain active on shared systems, regulated workflows, or servers with untrusted local users. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for mgetty faxspool installations and versions before 1.1.29.; Apply vendor fixed packages from relevant distribution advisories where available.; Upgrade mgetty to 1.1.29 or later where supported..
