DescriptionCVE.org

Out-of-bounds read in Windows LDAP - Lightweight Directory Access Protocol allows an unauthorized attacker to deny service over a network.

AnalysisAI

Remote denial of service in Windows LDAP affects all major Windows desktop and server releases from Windows 10 1607 through Windows Server 2025, allowing unauthenticated network attackers to crash the LDAP service by sending a malformed packet that triggers an out-of-bounds read (CWE-125). The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) confirms trivial, credential-free exploitation with high availability impact and no confidentiality or integrity loss. …
