CVE-2004-0115

15
FAUCET Score

CVE-2004-0115 describes a local privilege escalation vulnerability in Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac versions 6.0 through 6.1. An attacker can exploit this flaw by leveraging a symlink attack on the VPCServices_Log temporary file, allowing them to truncate and overwrite arbitrary files. This could lead to the execution of arbitrary code with elevated privileges. While the CVSS score is moderate at 4.6, indicating low attack complexity and local access requirements, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
