30
FAUCET Score

CVE-2003-0144 describes a buffer overflow vulnerability in the lprm command within the lprold lpr package, affecting SuSE 7.1-7.3, OpenBSD 3.2 and earlier, and potentially other operating systems.

With a CVSS score of 7.2 (AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C), it indicates high severity due to local access, low attack complexity, and complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While not listed on the KEV catalog and showing no active exploitation, exploit code is publicly available on ExploitDB, though there is no evidence of community discussion or media coverage.
