Title: Mosix ClumpOS Blank Default VNC Password Vulnerability
Severity: CRITICAL
Description:
ClumpOS is a cd-based Linux and Mosix distribution. It is maintained and distributed by the Mosix project.
A problem with ClumpOS could allow unauthorized administrative access to a vulnerable system. The problem is the setting of passwords.
ClumpOS does not prompt a user to set a password for VNC when installed. Instead, ClumpOS leaves the default password for VNC blank. This could allow remote root access to the system.
Affected Products:
- Mosix Project ClumpOS 5.4.0
