Exploitation Probability (EPSS)

Low risk

0.32%

23th percentile - higher than 23% of all known CVEs

Summary

Incorrect conversion between numeric types in Windows TCP/IP allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

Risk Assessment

An attacker with local access could exploit the conversion error to escalate privileges and take control of the system.

Recommendation

Apply Windows security updates that address this issue.
