Remote code execution via crafted server response
Published Aug 13, 2024 · Updated Jul 10, 2025
Heap-based buffer overflow in Microsoft's Windows IP Routing Management Snapin allows remote attackers to execute code after user interaction. Client request processing copies crafted data returned by a malicious server beyond a heap buffer; Microsoft has not disclosed the specific function. Exploitation requires a user to initiate a request to the attacker-controlled server, after which code executes in the client context.
