CVE-2002-2059 describes a vulnerability in specific Intel D845 series motherboards (D845BG, D845HV, D845PT, D845WN) where the BIOS fails to properly restrict access to configuration settings, even when BIOS passwords are enabled. This allows a local attacker to bypass security measures and change the default boot device by pressing the F8 key during startup. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 4.6, indicating a low severity, as it requires local access and has a low attack complexity, potentially leading to unauthorized configuration changes. There is no evidence of active exploitation, publicly available exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this older vulnerability.
