CVE-2003-1118
Estado: ModificadaAlta (7.5)—💥 Exploit
Buffer overflow in the SETI@home client 3.03 and other versions allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (client crash) and execute arbitrary code via a spoofed server response containing a long string followed by a \n (newline) character.
CVSS
- Versión: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
- Puntuación base: 7.5
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 18%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 97
- Fecha de la puntuación: 6/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
💥 Exploits públicos
Hay código de explotación o plantillas de detección públicos. No es lo mismo que explotación activa confirmada (KEV), pero aumenta el riesgo: parchee con prioridad.
