CVE-2023-28247Network attack vector

Unauthenticated information disclosure via NFS integer underflow

Published Apr 11, 2023 · Updated Jan 23, 2025

Integer underflow in Microsoft Windows NFS on affected Windows Server builds allows remote attackers to disclose information over the network. Microsoft identifies CWE-191 but has not published the affected function, arithmetic operation, or crafted NFS request that triggers the underflow. Exploitation requires network access to a server with the NFS role enabled; the type and scope of exposed information are undisclosed.
