**According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?** Exploitation of the vulnerability requires that a user open a specially crafted file. * In an email attack scenario, an attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending the specially crafted file to the user and convincing the user to open the file. * In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a website (or leverage a compromised website that accepts or hosts user-provided content) containing a specially crafted file designed to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker would have no way to force users to visit the website. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to click a link, typically by way of an enticement in an email or instant message, and then convince them to open the specially crafted file.

**According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?** The user would have to click on a specially crafted URL to be compromised by the attacker.

**How could an attacker exploit the vulnerability?** To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would need to trick a user into executing a specially crafted script which executes an RPC call to an RPC host. This could result in remote code execution on the server side with the same permissions as the RPC service.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** There are multiple ways an attacker could exploit the vulnerability, such as by either convincing a user to open a specially crafted document, or by convincing a user to visit a webpage that contains specially crafted embedded OpenType fonts. The resulting Remote Code Execution would be within the context of the authenticated local user.

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 NFSV4.1. Prior to updating your version of Windows that protects against this vulnerability, you can mitigate an attack by disabling NFSV2 and NFSV3. This may adversely affect your ecosystem and should only be used as a temporary mitigation. The following PowerShell command will disable those versions: PS C:\Set-NfsServerConfiguration -EnableNFSV2 $false -EnableNFSV3 $false After this, you will need to restart NFS server or reboot the machine. To restart NFS server, start a **cmd** window with **Run as Administrator**, enter the following commands: * **nfsadmin server stop** * **nfsadmin server start** To confirm that NFSv2 and NFSv3 have been turned off, run the following command in a Powershe...

**How would an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An attacker would have to convince a targeted user to connect to a malicious RDP server. Upon connecting, the malicious server could execute code on the victim's system in the context of the targeted user.

**Is the Preview Pane an attack vector for this vulnerability?** No, the Preview Pane is not an attack vector.

**Is the Preview Pane an attack vector for this vulnerability?** No, the Preview Pane is not an attack vector.

**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.
