CVE-2025-60723Network attack vector

Authenticated service interruption via graphics-kernel race

Published Nov 11, 2025 · Updated Feb 13, 2026

Denial of service in Windows DirectX on affected Windows releases allows remote authenticated users to interrupt the operating system. The DirectX graphics kernel accesses a shared resource concurrently without proper synchronization, allowing a race to cause a use-after-free. Exploitation requires low-privileged authentication and a hard-to-win timing condition; Microsoft has not disclosed the affected object or whether interruption is a crash, hang, or reboot.
