    Risk Factor Key:

         High Security issues that allow immediate remote, or local access
                  or immediate execution of code or commands, with unauthorized
                  privileges. Examples are most buffer overflows, backdoors,
                  default or no password, and bypassing security on firewalls
                  or other network components.
         Medium Security issues that have the potential of granting access or
                  allowing code execution by means of complex or lengthy exploit
                  procedures, or low risk issues applied to major Internet
                  components. Examples are cross-site scripting, man-in-the-middle
                  attacks, SQL injection, denial of service of major applications,
                  and denial of service resulting in system information disclosure
                  (such as core files).
         Low Security issues that deny service or provide non-system
                  information that could be used to formulate structured attacks
                  on a target, but not directly gain unauthorized access. Examples
                  are brute force attacks, non-system information disclosure
                  (configurations, paths, etc.), and denial of service attacks.
