66
FAUCET Score

CVE-2011-5165 describes a stack-based buffer overflow in Free MP3 CD Ripper versions 1.1, 2.6, and earlier. This vulnerability allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by processing a specially crafted .wav file during conversion. With a CVSS score of 9.3, it is considered critical due to its network attack vector, medium attack complexity, and complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While not listed on the KEV catalog, multiple public exploit modules exist, including Metasploit and several ExploitDB entries, indicating readily available exploit code. Despite this, there is no evidence of active exploitation or significant community discussion.
