IEEE1394 Local Privilege Escalation

CVSS Meta Temp Score
CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.
Current Exploit Price (≈)
Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.
CTI Interest Score
Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability has been found in IEEE1394 (version now known) and classified as critical. This vulnerability affects some unknown processing. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a local privilege escalation vulnerability. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

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.

The bug was discovered 10/26/2004. The weakness was released 03/01/2005 (Website). The advisory is shared for download at marc.info. This vulnerability was named CVE-2004-1038 since 11/16/2004. The exploitation appears to be easy. The attack needs to be approached locally. No form of authentication is required for a successful exploitation. There are neither technical details nor an exploit publicly available.

The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 126 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $0-$5k.

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (18041), OSVDB (44960†) and Vulnerability Center (SBV-7733†). VulDB is the best source for vulnerability data and more expert information about this specific topic.
