CVE-2002-0849 describes a vulnerability in the Linux-iSCSI implementation, specifically affecting the Cisco iSCSI driver and certain operating systems like Red Hat Linux Limbo Beta #1. The vulnerability stems from the iscsi.conf file being installed with world-readable permissions, allowing local users to access cleartext CHAP passwords. This is a low-severity vulnerability with a CVSS score of 4.6, indicating that an attacker would need local access (AV:L) and the attack complexity is low (AC:L), potentially leading to partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts (C:P/I:P/A:P). There is no evidence of active exploitation, no known exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), and minimal community discussion or media coverage.
