FKIE_CVE-2004-1038
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2005-03-01 05:00 - Updated: 2025-04-03 01:03
Severity ?
Summary
A design error in the IEEE1394 specification allows attackers with physical access to a device to read and write to sensitive memory using a modified FireWire/IEEE 1394 client, thus bypassing intended restrictions that would normally require greater degrees of physical access to exploit. NOTE: this was reported in 2008 to affect Windows Vista, but some Linux-based operating systems have protection mechanisms against this attack.
