Incorrect calculation of buffer size in Windows iSCSI allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in Windows iSCSI is possible due to incorrect buffer size calculation (CWE-131), affecting a broad swath of Windows releases from Server 2012 through Server 2025 and Windows 10/11 across multiple feature versions. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R) indicates a network-reachable, unauthenticated attack path requiring some user interaction - consistent with a scenario where a victim system initiates an iSCSI connection to a malicious target. …
