High-privilege code execution via heap buffer overflow
Published Apr 9, 2024 · Updated May 3, 2025
Heap-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Windows Server DHCP Server Service allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code. Microsoft identifies CWE-122 but has not published the affected function, input field, or operation that overruns the heap buffer. Exploitation requires high privileges and network access to a server running the DHCP Server role; success permits code execution in the service context.
