CVSS v3.1
Official Description
inetd in Compaq Tru64 UNIX 5.1 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (network connection loss) by causing one of the services handled by inetd to core dump during startup, which causes inetd to stop accepting connections to all of its services.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2001-1435 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
