CVE-1999-0113 is an argument injection vulnerability in some implementations of rlogin. The flaw occurs when attacker-supplied input such as the "-froot" parameter is passed to another program without proper delimitation or neutralization of command-line arguments. In the vulnerable execution path, the "-f" option is interpreted by the downstream program as a request to execute as user root, resulting in unintended privileged execution. This is a canonical example of CWE-88, Improper Neutralization of Argument Delimiters in a Command.
