The following mitigating factor might be helpful in your situation: To be exploitable by this vulnerability the Windows Fax Service has to be installed and configured. If Windows Fax Service is enabled, consider disabling it until you have installed this update that addresses this vulnerability.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a malicious request packet via a client machine to a Windows Server configured to be a Multipoint Service over a network, and then waiting for the server to stop or restart.

**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 gather information specific to the environment and take additional actions prior to exploitation to prepare the target environment.

**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.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** To exploit this vulnerability, a victim machine must be running a performance counter collection tool such as Performance Monitor to collect performance counter data from an attacker machine. An attacker with local admin authority on the attacker machine could run malicious code remotely in the victim machine's performance counter data collector process.

**According to the CVSS metric, privileges required is low (PR:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An authenticated attacker with Site Owner permissions can use the vulnerability to inject arbitrary code and execute this code in the context of SharePoint Server.

**How would an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An unauthenticated attacker could connect to the Remote Desktop Licensing Service and send a malicious message which could allow remote code execution.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An authenticated attacker could exploit the vulnerability by uploading a malicious TIFF file to a server.

**How could an attacker exploit the vulnerability?** An authenticated attacker with Site Owner permissions or higher could upload a specially crafted file to the targeted SharePoint Server and craft specialized API requests to trigger deserialization of file's parameters. This would enable the attacker to perform remote code execution in the context of the SharePoint Server.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by tricking an authenticated user (UI:R) into attempting to connect to a malicious SQL server database via a connection driver (for example: OLE DB or OLEDB as applicable). This could result in the database returning malicious data that could cause arbitrary code execution on the client.
