Details
Summary
CVE-2024-21344 denotes a Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability affecting Windows Network Address Translation (NAT). An attacker can exploit this issue by sending specially crafted packets to a targeted Windows NAT device, resulting in a denial of service condition. The vulnerability arises due to insufficient input validation in the NAT implementation. Successful exploitation does not allow unauthorized system access but renders the device incapable of processing legitimate network traffic. Microsoft is currently working on a patch to address this issue. Users are advised to apply the update as soon as it becomes available to mitigate potential DoS attacks.
