CVE-2003-0925

21
FAUCET Score

CVE-2003-0925 describes a buffer overflow vulnerability in Ethereal versions 0.9.15 and earlier, affecting the ethereal_group product. This flaw allows remote attackers to trigger a denial of service and potentially execute arbitrary code by sending a crafted GTP MSISDN string. With a CVSS score of 7.5, it is considered highly severe due to its network attack vector, low access complexity, and potential for partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. Despite its severity, there is no evidence of active exploitation, no known public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), and minimal community discussion or media coverage, indicating a low current threat landscape.
