CVE-2014-0004

22
FAUCET Score

CVE-2014-0004 is a stack-based buffer overflow affecting udisks versions before 1.0.5 and 2.x before 2.1.3, impacting Canonical and Freedesktop distributions. This vulnerability allows a local attacker to cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code by providing an overly long mount point. With a CVSS score of 6.9, it's considered a high-severity issue due to its potential for complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise, though it requires medium attack complexity and local access. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage surrounding this vulnerability.
