CVE-2002-0891
The web interface (WebUI) of NetScreen ScreenOS before 2.6.1r8, and certain 2.8.x and 3.0.x versions before 3.0.3r1, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a long user name.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.63%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
