#Security Vulnerability
**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** In most situations, an unauthenticated attacker could send a specially crafted packet to a targeted server utilizing the Server Name Indication (SNI) over HTTP Protocol Stack (http.sys) to process packets, causing a denial of service (DOS).
**According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to take additional actions prior to exploitation to prepare the target environment.
**According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?** An attacker must send the user a malicious file and convince them to open it.
**What type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could view heap memory from a privileged process running on the server.
**According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to win a race condition.
**According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to win a race condition.
**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain administrator privileges.
**According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?** The user would have to click on a specially crafted URL to be compromised by the attacker.
**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** The authenticated attacker could take advantage of this vulnerability to execute malicious code through the RPC runtime.
**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain SYSTEM privileges.
