CVE-2003-0895

Status: ModifiedMedium (4.6)—

Buffer overflow in the Mac OS X kernel 10.2.8 and earlier allows local users, and possibly remote attackers, to cause a denial of service (crash), access portions of memory, and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long command line argument (argv[]).

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
