CVE-2025-49688Network attack vector

Remote code execution via RRAS double free

Published Jul 8, 2025 · Updated Feb 26, 2026

Double free in Microsoft Windows Server RRAS allows remote attackers to execute code over a network after required user interaction. RRAS releases the same memory allocation twice, but Microsoft has not disclosed the affected function, input path, or operation that triggers the second release. Reachability requires RRAS to be installed and exposed to network traffic, and successful exploitation also requires user interaction.
