Admin-assisted code execution via heap buffer overflow
Published Dec 10, 2024 · Updated Jun 9, 2026
Heap-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Windows RRAS allows remote attackers to execute code through malicious server data. RRAS processes a malicious server response without enforcing the destination heap buffer's bounds; Microsoft has not disclosed the affected function or field. Exploitation requires an administrator to connect the client to an attacker-controlled server, after which code runs in the client's context.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
