CVE-2006-6860

26
FAUCET Score

CVE-2006-6860 describes a critical buffer overflow vulnerability in the sendToMythTV function of MythControl 1.0 and earlier, specifically within MythControlServer.c. This flaw allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending a specially crafted string to the Bluetooth interface. With a CVSS score of 10.0, it presents a severe risk due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While no public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB) is readily available, and there is minimal community discussion or media coverage, its high FAUCET Risk Score of 91/100 indicates significant potential danger.
