CVSS 8.8 HIGHEPSS 89.9%● KEV
In short

A flaw in Windows SMB file-sharing protocol allows attackers to send specially crafted packets and run malicious code on affected computers without authentication. This is critical because SMB is commonly used for network file sharing, making millions of systems potentially vulnerable.

Technical detail

The SMBv1 server implementation in multiple Windows versions contains a memory corruption vulnerability exploitable via remote network packets without requiring authentication or user interaction. Successful exploitation grants arbitrary code execution in kernel context, affecting Windows Vista through Windows 10 and corresponding Server editions.

Summary generated and translated by AI from the official description.
The SMBv1 server in Microsoft Windows Vista SP2; Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1; Windows 7 SP1; Windows 8.1; Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2; Windows RT 8.1; and Windows 10 Gold, 1511, and 1607; and Windows Server 2016 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted packets, aka "Windows SMB Remote Code Execution Vulnerability." This vulnerability is different from those described in CVE-2017-0143, CVE-2017-0144, CVE-2017-0145, and CVE-2017-0148.
