Windows Hyper-V Denial of Service Vulnerability - CVE-2018-8437ID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:47448 | Date: (C)2018-09-12 (M)2022-11-24 |
Class: VULNERABILITY | Family: windows |
A denial of service vulnerability exists when Microsoft Hyper-V Network Switch on a host server fails to properly validate input from a privileged user on a guest operating system. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could cause the host server to crash. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker who already has a privileged account on a guest operating system, running as a virtual machine, could run a specially crafted application that causes a host machine to crash. The update addresses the vulnerability by modifying how virtual machines access the Hyper-V Network Switch.
