CVE-2004-2731

14
FAUCET Score

CVE-2004-2731 describes multiple integer overflows in the Sbus PROM driver (drivers/sbus/char/openprom.c) within Linux kernel versions 2.4.x up to 2.4.27 and 2.6.x up to 2.6.7, potentially affecting later versions. This vulnerability allows local users to execute arbitrary code by manipulating buffer sizes during calls to the copyin_string or copyin functions. With a CVSS score of 4.4 (AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P), it requires local access and medium attack complexity, leading to potential confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
