description

Microsoft Windows Server 2016 systems running Windows DHCP Server are affected by an out-of-bounds read. An unauthorized attacker with network access to the DHCP Server service may be able to execute code remotely.

mitigation

Restrict network access to the Windows DHCP Server service to trusted hosts and networks. Apply vendor remediation when a supported update is identified.

fixed in 10.0.14393.9688, 10.0.17763.9487, 10.0.20348.5870, 10.0.26100.33822
