CVE-2003-1120
Race condition in SSH Tectia Server 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 for Unix, when the password change plugin (ssh-passwd-plugin) is enabled, allows local users to obtain the server's private key.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.32%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
