CVE-2020-0796
CVE-2020-0796
In short
A critical vulnerability in Windows SMBv3 (the protocol used for file sharing) allows attackers to execute malicious code remotely on vulnerable computers without needing special permissions. This is particularly dangerous because SMBv3 is widely used in networks and the attack requires minimal interaction.
Technical detail
Remote code execution vulnerability in SMBv3 protocol (CWE-119: buffer overflow) triggered via crafted network requests. Attack vector is network-based with no authentication required; affected systems automatically process malicious SMBv3 packets that corrupt memory and lead to arbitrary code execution with system privileges.
Summary generated and translated by AI from the official description.
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the Microsoft Server Message Block 3.1.1 (SMBv3) protocol handles certain requests, aka 'Windows SMBv3 Client/Server Remote Code Execution Vulnerability'.
