CVE-2003-0955 is a local denial-of-service and potential arbitrary code execution vulnerability affecting OpenBSD kernel versions 3.3 and 3.4. It stems from improper handling of programs with invalid headers in the iBCS2 emulation or exec_elf.c, leading to a stack-based buffer overflow. With a CVSS score of 4.6, it requires local access and low attack complexity, potentially resulting in a kernel panic or code execution. While not actively exploited in the wild (no KEV entry), public exploit code exists on ExploitDB, though there is minimal community discussion or media coverage.
