Windows Kerberos Denial of Service Vulnerability

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 21/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.82% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 56.3% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. Special conditions such as timing or configuration are required.
  • Fixed version: Windows 10 Version 1607 for 32-bit Systems 10.0.14393.9234; Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems 10.0.14393.9234; Windows 10 Version 1809 for 32-bit Systems 10.0.17763.8880.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Windows 10 Version 1607 for 32-bit Systems 10.0.14393.9234; Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems 10.0.14393.9234; Windows 10 Version 1809 for 32-bit Systems 10.0.17763.8880 or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Out-of-bounds read in Windows Kerberos allows an authorized attacker to deny service over a network.

Exploit status

No known public exploit

No public exploit has been observed yet. That doesn't mean you're safe, only that the bar is a little higher.

Research context

For pentesters and researchers: attack profile, score disagreement, timeline, patch commits, credits, variant and chain candidates, bug bounty scope. All derived from existing data; no exploit code.

Timeline

From publication to today: proof of concept, Metasploit module, CISA KEV and fix record. Dates are as reported by the sources.

No dated events beyond publication.

EPSS, last 120 days

FIRST EPSS daily score; only changes of 0.01 or more are recorded (step chart).

Patch and commit links

Commit, PR and diff links among the references. A starting point for patch-diffing and variant hunting; fixes, not exploits.

No commit or PR link among the references.

Credits
