CVE-2003-0079 describes a denial-of-service vulnerability in the hanterm (hanterm-xf) terminal emulator, specifically affecting versions prior to 2.0.5. An attacker can trigger this by sending a specially crafted character escape sequence, causing the terminal to enter an infinite loop. This is a low-severity local attack requiring no authentication, with a potential impact of partial system availability loss. There is no known active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or KEV entry, though it has garnered significant community discussion on platforms like GitHub.
