CVE-2004-1038

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

16 Nov 2004 — 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 •
