Helpful Resources

Exploitability

CWE
CWE Icon
KEV
KEV Icon
CWE ID Description
CWE-416 The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
CWE-843 The product allocates or initializes a resource such as a pointer, object, or variable using one type, but it later accesses that resource using a type that is incompatible with the original type.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a use-after-free issue in the Universal Plug and Play (upnp.dll) component. It allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code remotely over a network by exploiting the improper handling of memory.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can lead to remote code execution, which means an attacker can run arbitrary code on the affected system without authorization. This can result in full compromise of the system, including loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Compliance Impact

The vulnerability allows unauthorized remote code execution, which can lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, and potential compromise of sensitive information.

Such security breaches can impact compliance with standards and regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, which require protection of personal and health data against unauthorized access and ensure system integrity.

Therefore, if exploited, this vulnerability could result in non-compliance with these regulations due to potential data exposure and failure to maintain adequate security controls.
