#Security Vulnerability

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to win a race condition.

**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain SYSTEM privileges.

**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain SYSTEM privileges.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by tricking an authenticated user into attempting to connect to a malicious SQL server via OLEDB, which could result in the server receiving a malicious networking packet. This could allow the attacker to execute code remotely on the client.

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to win a race condition.

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to physically access the target device. To gain access, an attacker must acquire the device after being unlocked by a legitimate user (target of opportunity) or possess the ability to pass device authentication or password protection mechanisms.

**What actions do customers need to take to protect themselves from this vulnerability?** Customers with deployments created prior to Oct 19. 2023 must manually upgrade azure-core to Azure Core Build 1.29.5 or higher to be protected. For information reference the following: https://azure.github.io/azure-sdk/releases/latest/index.html. Customers with deployments created after October 19, 2023 recieved the fix automatically and no action is needed.

**What privileges could an attacker gain with a successful exploitation?** An unprivileged attacker with read only permissions can escalate to Root in the Border Gateway Protocol container and perform specific actions that enable them to escape the container.

**According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?** An attacker must send the user a malicious file and convince them to open it.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending the user a malicious link or a malicious image via Instant Message and then convincing the user to click the link or image.
