CVE-2019-1213

Status: ModifiedCritical (9.8)—

A memory corruption vulnerability exists in the Windows Server DHCP service when an attacker sends specially crafted packets to a DHCP server. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could run arbitrary code on the DHCP server. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker could send a specially crafted packet to a DHCP server. The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how DHCP servers handle network packets.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
