CVE-2024-21416Network attack vector

Remote code execution via TCP/IP heap overflow

Published Sep 10, 2024 · Updated Aug 10, 2026

Heap-based buffer overflow in Windows TCP/IP allows remote attackers to execute code by sending network traffic to affected systems. Microsoft has not disclosed the specific TCP/IP code locus or the incorrect operation that overruns the heap buffer. Exploitation requires no privileges or user interaction but has high attack complexity; successful attacks can execute code remotely.
