Remote code execution via LDAP integer overflow
Published Dec 10, 2024 · Updated Jun 9, 2026
Integer overflow in Windows LDAP across affected Windows releases allows remote attackers to execute code via crafted LDAP traffic. The unpatched wldap32.dll performs unchecked integer arithmetic while processing LDAP data, but the exact code-execution path remains undisclosed. Domain-controller exploitation requires crafted RPC calls that trigger lookup of an attacker-controlled domain; LDAP clients must be induced to connect to a malicious LDAP server.
