Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2002-1579 is an old denial-of-service issue in SAP GUI 4.6D. A remote connection to a high-numbered port can crash the client with an “unknown connection data” error. The sources do not describe data theft, privilege escalation, or server compromise. Exposure is most plausible where legacy SAP GUI 4.6D clients are still installed and reachable over networks that allow unsolicited connections to local high-numbered ports. Treat this as a legacy availability risk. It is unlikely to be a modern strategic emergency, but any remaining SAP GUI 4.6D use should be removed or isolated because the software is very old and crash-prone. Mitigation focus: Inventory SAP GUI installations and identify any SAP GUI 4.6D clients.; Check SAP or enterprise support guidance for fixed or supported SAP GUI versions.; Upgrade or retire unsupported SAP GUI 4.6D installations where possible..
