validatingZero is analyzing and reversing it now.description
Windows Server 2016 systems running the DHCP Server role are affected. An unauthenticated attacker may be able to execute code remotely if they can reach the DHCP service over the network.
Still under analysis: more detail becomes available as the pipeline runs.
mitigation
Restrict DHCP service access to trusted network segments and block unneeded DHCP traffic at network boundaries. Apply the relevant Microsoft security update when it is available for the deployed system.
