CVE-2004-1073

CVE-2004-1073 is a local information disclosure vulnerability affecting Linux kernel versions 2.4.x up to 2.4.27 and 2.6.x up to 2.6.8, including distributions like Red Hat and SUSE. It allows local users to read the contents of otherwise non-readable ELF binaries by leveraging the interpreter functionality. With a CVSS score of 2.1, this vulnerability has a low attack complexity and only impacts confidentiality, as an attacker would need local access to exploit it. While there is an ExploitDB entry (EDB-624) detailing an executable file read, there is no evidence of active exploitation, Metasploit or Nuclei modules, or significant community discussion or media coverage.
