CVE-2023-24947: Windows Bluetooth Driver Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An unauthorized attacker could exploit the Windows Bluetooth driver vulnerability by programmatically running certain functions that could lead to remote code execution on the Bluetooth component.

CVE-2023-29341: AV1 Video Extension Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is local (AV:L). Why does the CVE title indicate that this is a remote code execution?** The word **Remote** in the title refers to the location of the attacker. This type of exploit is sometimes referred to as Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE). The attack itself is carried out locally. For example, when the score indicates that the **Attack Vector** is **Local** and **User Interaction** is **Required**, this could describe an exploit in which an attacker, through social engineering, convinces a victim to download and open a specially crafted file from a website which leads to a local attack on their computer.

CVE-2023-24903: Windows Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol (SSTP) Remote Code Execution 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.

CVE-2023-28283: Windows Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Remote Code Execution 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.

CVE-2023-24941: Windows Network File System Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

Mitigation refers to a setting, common configuration, or general best-practice, existing in a default state, that could reduce the severity of exploitation of a vulnerability. The following mitigating factors might be helpful in your situation: This vulnerability is not exploitable in NFSV2.0 or NFSV3.0. Prior to updating your version of Windows that protects against this vulnerability, you can mitigate an attack by disabling NFSV4.1. This could adversely affect your ecosystem and should only be used as a temporary mitigation. **Warning** You should NOT apply this mitigation unless you have installed the May 2022 Windows security updates. Those updates address CVE-2022-26937 which is a Critical vulnerability in NFSV2.0 and NFSV3.0. The following PowerShell command will disable those versions: PS C:\Set-NfsServerConfiguration -EnableNFSV4 $false After running the command, you will need to restart NFS server or reboot the machine. To restart NFS server, start a **cmd** window with...

CVE-2023-24943: Windows Pragmatic General Multicast (PGM) Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** When Windows Message Queuing service is running in a PGM Server environment, an attacker could send a specially crafted file over the network to achieve remote code execution and attempt to trigger malicious code.
