CVE-2024-38068Network attack vector

OCSP service interruption via undisclosed request handling

Published Jul 9, 2024 · Updated Feb 10, 2026

Denial of service in Microsoft Windows OCSP Server allows remote attackers to interrupt certificate-status responses over the network. Microsoft has not published the malformed request, parser, or resource-handling operation that triggers the service interruption. The Online Responder service must process attacker-supplied OCSP traffic; the documented consequence is availability loss without confidentiality or integrity impact.
