CVE-2001-1291
CriticalSummary
The telnet server for 3Com hardware such as PS40 SuperStack II does not delay or disconnect remote attackers who provide an incorrect username or password, making it easier to break into the server via brute force password guessing.
Risk Assessment
The lack of proper security measures may lead to unauthorized access to the server, posing a serious threat to the organization's data security.
Recommendation
It is recommended to implement mechanisms that delay or block after several failed login attempts to minimize the risk of brute force attacks.
