CVE-2001-1387 describes a vulnerability in iptables before version 1.2.4 where the iptables-save utility incorrectly records the "--reject-with icmp-host-prohibited" rule as "--reject-with tcp-reset." This discrepancy can lead to the firewall generating unintended responses, potentially resulting in an information leak. With a CVSS score of 2.1 (LOW), this vulnerability has a local attack vector and low attack complexity, primarily impacting confidentiality. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage surrounding this CVE.
