CVE-2003-0655 describes a local privilege escalation vulnerability in cdrtools versions 2.01 and earlier, specifically within the rscsi component. An attacker can overwrite arbitrary files and gain root privileges by manipulating a command-line argument that is modified while rscsi runs with elevated permissions. With a CVSS score of 7.2, this vulnerability is considered high severity due to its local attack vector, low complexity, and complete impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While not actively exploited in the wild and lacking Metasploit/Nuclei modules, an ExploitDB entry (EDB-22979) exists, indicating proof-of-concept code is available, though community discussion and media coverage are minimal.
