Impact
An out‑of‑bounds read in the DNS server component of Windows operating systems enables an authorized attacker to read memory and disclose information over a network. This flaw is classified as a buffer over‑read (CWE‑125). The vulnerability does not grant code execution or privilege escalation, and it only allows information disclosure.
Affected Systems
The vulnerability impacts Windows 10 versions 1607, 1809, 21H2, 22H2; Windows 11 versions 23H2, 24H2, 25H2, 26H2, and 26H1; and Windows Server 2012 through 2025, including core installations; Microsoft has identified all these product lines as affected, but no specific patch level is listed.
Risk and Exploitability
CVSS score of 6.5 indicates moderate risk. EPSS data is not available and the issue is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. Exploitation requires an authorized attacker with network credentials that allow DNS queries against the vulnerable server, resulting in information disclosure over the network. No remote code execution is possible.
