Patch availableMicrosoft Windows New Technology File System (NTFS) contains a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability that allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code locally.
Microsoft Windows New Technology File System (NTFS) contains a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability that allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code locally.
A heap overflow condition is a buffer overflow, where the buffer that can be overwritten is allocated in the heap portion of memory, generally meaning that the buffer was allocated using a routine such as malloc().
An attacker operating through local access may attempt exploitation without authentication after a user interaction. If successful, the issue may execute code or commands in the affected security context.
