Description

Out-of-bounds read in Windows DHCP Server allows an authorized attacker to disclose information locally.

FAQ

What type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability? Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to read a limited amount of information from the affected system’s memory. This information would be restricted in scope and is not expected to expose large amounts of sensitive data. According to the CVSS metrics, exploitation results in a small loss of confidentiality (C:L), no integrity impact (I:N), and high availability impact (A:H). What does this mean? This means that an attacker could potentially see a small amount of information they should not have access to, but they cannot change data or system settings. The primary impact is that the affected service could stop working or crash, which may temporarily disrupt normal system operations.
