CVE-2000-0293 describes an arbitrary file deletion vulnerability affecting SuSE Linux 6.3 and earlier versions. Local users can exploit this by creating files with spaces in their names, which the aaa_base utility (or cron.daily in older versions) misinterprets when cleaning the /tmp directory, leading to the deletion of unintended files. This vulnerability has a low CVSS score of 2.1 (AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N), indicating it requires local access and has a partial impact on integrity. While not actively exploited or on the KEV catalog, an ExploitDB entry (EDB-19867) exists, and there is no recorded community discussion or media coverage.
