CVE-2002-1392 describes a vulnerability in mgetty versions prior to 1.1.29, where the faxspool utility uses a world-writable directory for outgoing faxes. This allows local users to modify fax transmission privileges, potentially leading to unauthorized fax activity. The vulnerability has a low CVSS score of 2.1 (AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N), indicating a local attack vector with low complexity and a potential impact of partial integrity loss. There is no evidence of active exploitation, no known exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), and minimal community discussion or media coverage.
