DescriptionCVE.org

Integer underflow (wrap or wraparound) in Windows DHCP Server allows an unauthorized attacker to disclose information over an adjacent network.

AnalysisAI

Information disclosure via integer underflow in the Windows DHCP Server service exposes server process memory to unauthenticated attackers on the same network segment, affecting Windows Server 2012 through 2025 and Windows 10 versions 1607 and 1809 where the DHCP Server role is installed. The root cause is a CWE-125 out-of-bounds read triggered when an integer underflows and wraps around, causing DHCP packet-processing code to read memory outside intended bounds and potentially return it in a server response. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the target system have the Windows DHCP Server role explicitly installed and actively running - this role is not enabled by default on any Windows Server or Windows 10 edition and must be deliberately configured by an administrator. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) scores 6.5 Medium, reflecting high confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability loss, requiring no authentication and no user interaction, but constrained to the adjacent network. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Apply the Microsoft-released patches via Windows Update, WSUS, or Microsoft Update Catalog to bring affected systems to or above the following fixed build versions: Windows Server 2012 and Server Core to 6.2.9200.26279 or later; Windows Server 2012 R2 and Server Core to 6.3.9600.23337 or later; Windows Server 2016, Server Core, and Windows 10 Version 1607 to 10.0.14393.9418 or later; Windows Server 2019, Server Core, and Windows 10 Version 1809 to 10.0.17763.9115 or later; Windows Server 2022 to 10.0.20348.5499 or later; Windows Server 2025 and Server Core to 10.0.26100.33296 or later. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
