CVE-2025-53805Network attack vector

Unauthenticated service interruption via out-of-bounds read

Published Sep 9, 2025 · Updated Sep 9, 2025

Out-of-bounds read in HTTP.sys in affected Microsoft Windows 11 and Windows Server builds allows remote attackers to interrupt service. Microsoft identifies the locus as HTTP.sys but has not disclosed the request field, parser path, or invalid bounds operation. No authentication or user interaction is required; network traffic can make the HTTP service unavailable, with no reported data disclosure or modification.
