CVE-2003-0813

20
FAUCET Score

CVE-2003-0813 describes a multi-threaded race condition in the Windows RPC DCOM functionality, affecting Windows 2000, 98, NT, Server 2003, and XP, even with the MS03-039 patch installed. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to trigger a denial of service by causing two threads to process the same RPC request, leading to use-after-free memory errors. It has a CVSS score of 5.1, indicating a network-based attack with high access complexity, potentially leading to partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. Despite its age and high FAUCET risk score, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
