#Security Vulnerability
**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 type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could potentially read small portions of heap memory.
**According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** The attacker must inject themselves into the logical network path between the target and the resource requested by the victim to read or modify network communications. This is called a machine-in-the-middle (MITM) attack.
**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.
**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** To successfully exploit this remote code execution vulnerability, an attacker could send a malicious logon request to the target domain controller.
**According to the CVSS metric, successful exploitation of this vulnerability has a high impact on availability (A:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An attacker can send specially crafted packets which could affect availability of the service and result in Denial of Service (DoS).
**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?** To successfully exploit this remote code execution vulnerability, an attacker could send a malicious logon request to the target domain controller.
**How do I get the update for Microsoft HPC Pack?** If you do not have automatic updates enabled you need to manually update your extension. See Update Network Watcher extension to the latest version for update instructions. Customers who have automatic updates enabled do not need to take any further action.
**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.
