CVE-2001-0597
Zetetic Secure Tool for Recalling Important Passwords (STRIP) 0.5 and earlier for the PalmOS allows a local attacker to recover passwords via a brute force attack.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.07%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
Zetetic Secure Tool for Recalling Important Passwords (STRIP) 0.5 and earlier for the PalmOS allows a local attacker to recover passwords via a brute force attack. This attack is made feasible by STRIP's use of SysRandom, which is seeded by TimeGetTicks, and an implementation flaw which vastly reduces the password 'search space'.
