Windows Hyper-V Denial of Service Vulnerability

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis
How this class of weakness works · CWE-770

The application allocates memory, connections, or handles in response to a request without enforcing any cap, so a modest amount of malicious traffic exhausts the resource and denies service to everyone else. The fix is enforcing quotas, limits, and timeouts on what any single request or client can consume.

General guidance for the resource allocation without limits class — the official description and references above are authoritative for this specific CVE. Want a bespoke review and a reviewed fix? Ask our team →

Recommended fix High confidence

Windows Server 2016: build 10.0.14393.7428 or later | Server 2019: build 10.0.17763.6414 or later | Server 2022: build 10.0.20348.2762 or later | Server 2022 23h2: build 10.0.25398.1189 or later

  1. Identify the current Windows Server version by running 'winver' or 'systeminfo' in Command Prompt
  2. Determine the appropriate KB update for your Windows Server version from the Microsoft Security Update Guide at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2024-43567
  3. Open Windows Update (Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update) or use WSUS to check for available updates
  4. Install the relevant cumulative security update containing the fix for CVE-2024-43567
  5. Restart the Hyper-V host after the update completes
  6. Verify the fix by checking the OS build number matches or exceeds: 10.0.14393.7428 (Server 2016), 10.0.17763.6414 (Server 2019), 10.0.20348.2762 (Server 2022), or 10.0.25398.1189 (Server 2022 23h2)
Caveat Windows Server 2012 (all versions) is end-of-support with no patch available - migration to a supported OS required
