Unauthenticated service interruption via PPP resource exhaustion
Published Aug 9, 2022 · Updated May 29, 2025
Denial of service in Microsoft Windows PPP allows remote attackers to interrupt service by sending traffic to an exposed PPP endpoint. Microsoft has not disclosed the specific PPP parser or operation that consumes resources incorrectly; CISA maps the flaw to uncontrolled resource consumption. Reachability requires a PPP-capable remote-access endpoint, and successful exploitation affects availability without reported data exposure or modification.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
