CVE-2002-2132
Windows File Protection (WFP) in Windows 2000 and XP does not remove old security catalog .CAT files, which could allow local users to replace new files with vulnerable old files that have valid hash codes.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.75%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
