CVE-2002-0176

14
FAUCET Score

CVE-2002-0176 describes a vulnerability in libsafe 2.0-11 and earlier, specifically within its printf wrappers, which fail to properly handle argument indexing specifiers. This flaw could allow attackers to exploit certain function calls by manipulating unverified arguments, impacting Avaya libsafe products. With a CVSS score of 4.6 (AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P), it indicates a local attack vector with low complexity, potentially leading to partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage, suggesting it is not a widely targeted or discussed vulnerability.
