Exploitability

CWE
CWE Icon
KEV
KEV Icon
CWE ID Description
CWE-190 The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This occurs when an integer value is incremented to a value that is too large to store in the associated representation. When this occurs, the value may become a very small or negative number.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is an integer overflow or wraparound flaw in the Windows iSCSI service. It allows an unauthorized attacker to execute arbitrary code remotely over a network by exploiting this flaw.

Detection Guidance

Detecting this vulnerability requires checking for unpatched Windows systems with iSCSI enabled. Use Windows Update to verify if the latest security patches are installed. Check the iSCSI service status via 'sc query msiscsi' in Command Prompt. Monitor network traffic for unusual iSCSI connections using 'netstat -ano | findstr 3260'.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could exploit this to run malicious code on your system, potentially gaining control over it. This could lead to data theft, installation of malware, or disruption of services if you are running an affected Windows version.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability allows remote code execution via an integer overflow in Windows iSCSI, which could lead to unauthorized access and data breaches. Such breaches may violate GDPR's data protection requirements and HIPAA's security rules for protected health information.

Mitigation Strategies

Apply the latest security updates from Microsoft to patch the Windows iSCSI component. Disable iSCSI if not in use and monitor network traffic for suspicious activity targeting iSCSI ports.
