CVE-2003-0644

14
FAUCET Score

CVE-2003-0644 describes a local privilege escalation vulnerability in Kdbg versions 1.1.0 through 1.2.8, where the debugger fails to properly check permissions of the .kdbgrc configuration file. This oversight allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the affected system. With a CVSS score of 4.6 (AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P), it indicates low attack complexity and local access requirements, potentially leading to partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion, and it is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog.
