Remote code execution via heap-based buffer overflow
Published Jan 14, 2025 · Updated Jun 9, 2026
Heap-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Windows Telephony Service allows remote attackers to execute code after user interaction. Microsoft identifies heap memory corruption but has not published the affected function, input format, or faulty bounds operation. Exploitation requires an unauthenticated attacker to persuade a user to interact with malicious content, after which code runs in the user's security 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.
