Host denial of service via missing synchronization
Published Aug 12, 2025 · Updated Feb 13, 2026
Missing synchronization in Windows Hyper-V allows remote authenticated users on an adjacent network to crash the host. Microsoft has not disclosed which Hyper-V operation lacks synchronization or the request sequence that triggers the failure. Exploitation requires low privileges and adjacent-network reachability; the documented consequence is availability loss without data disclosure or modification.

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.
