CVE-2003-0232

35
FAUCET Score

CVE-2003-0232 describes a critical buffer overflow vulnerability in Microsoft SQL Server 7, 2000, and MSDE. This flaw allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code by sending a specially crafted request to the Local Procedure Calls (LPC) port. With a CVSS score of 7.2, it presents a high risk due to its local attack vector and complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While not listed in CISA KEV and lacking widespread exploit intelligence, its high FAUCET Risk Score and significant community discussion indicate its potential for exploitation, with one related denial-of-service exploit available on ExploitDB.
