    _____

    Risk Factor Key:

         High Any vulnerability that provides an attacker with immediate
                  access into a machine, gains superuser access, or bypasses
                  a firewall. Example: A vulnerable Sendmail 8.6.5 version
                  that allows an intruder to execute commands on mail server.
         Medium Any vulnerability that provides information that has a high
                  potential of giving system access to an intruder. Example:
                  A misconfigured TFTP or vulnerable NIS server that allows
                  an intruder to get the password file that could contain an
                  account with a guessable password.
         Low Any vulnerability that provides information that could
                  potentially lead to a compromise. Example: A finger that
                  allows an intruder to find out who is online and potential
                  accounts to attempt to crack passwords via brute force
                  methods.
