CVE-2002-1384

19
FAUCET Score

CVE-2002-1384 describes an integer overflow vulnerability in pdftops, affecting Xpdf 2.01 and earlier, xpdf-i, and CUPS before version 1.1.18. This flaw allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code by crafting a malicious ColorSpace entry with a large number of elements, as demonstrated by cups-pdf. With a CVSS score of 7.2, this vulnerability is considered high severity due to its local attack vector (AV:L), low attack complexity (AC:L), and complete impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:C/I:C/A:C). There is no evidence of active exploitation, no known public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), and minimal community discussion or media coverage, suggesting it is not widely targeted.
