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: * Systems are not affected if IPv6 is disabled on the target machine.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by tricking a user into sending a request to a malicious server. This could result in the server returning malicious data that might cause arbitrary code execution on the user's system.

**According to the CVSS metric, privileges required is low (PR:L). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** Any authenticated attacker could trigger this vulnerability. It does not require admin or other elevated privileges.

**Why is this Red Hat, Inc. CVE included in the Security Update Guide?** The vulnerability assigned to this CVE is in Linux Shim boot. It is being documented in the Security Update Guide to announce that the latest builds of Microsoft Windows address this vulnerability by blocking old, unpatched, Linux boot loaders by applying SBAT (Secure Boot Advanced Targeting) EFI variables in the UEFI library. Please see Security Update Guide Supports CVEs Assigned by Industry Partners for more information. For more information see: CVE-2023-40547.

**The following mitigating factors might be helpful in your situation:** * Users are advised against installing or enabling the Line Printer Daemon (LPD) service. * The LPD is not installed or enabled on the systems by default. * The LPD has been announced as deprecated since Windows Server 2012. Please refer to: Features Removed or Deprecated in Windows Server 2012.

**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.

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is network (AV:N) and the user interaction is required (UI:R). What is the target context of the remote code execution?** This attack requires an authenticated client to click a link in order for an unauthenticated attacker to initiate remote code execution.

Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Apache DolphinScheduler. An authenticated user can cause arbitrary, unsandboxed javascript to be executed on the server. If you are using the switch task plugin, please upgrade to version 3.2.2.
