CVE-2004-1038

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2004-1038

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. • http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/03/04/1258210 http://marc.info/?l=bugtraq&m=109881362530790&w=2 http://md.hudora.de/presentations/firewire/2005-firewire-cansecwest.pdf http://pacsec.jp/advisories.html http://storm.net.nz/projects/16 http://storm.net.nz/static/files/ab_firewire_rux2k6-final.pdf http://www.sec-consult.com/fileadmin/Whitepapers/Vista_Physical_Attacks.pdf http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/489163/100/0/threaded http://www.securityfocus.com/arch •
