Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Uncontrolled resource consumption in Windows Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) allows an unauthorized attacker to deny service over a network.

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 · moderate confidence

A denial-of-service vulnerability exists in Windows LSASS (Local Security Authority Subsystem Service) where an unauthorized remote attacker can cause uncontrolled resource consumption, leading to service failure and potential system-wide authentication disruptions.

MitigationApply the relevant Microsoft security update for this vulnerability across all affected Windows systems. Given LSASS criticality to Windows authentication, test patches in a staging environment before production deployment.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Check Windows version
    Run 'winver' or 'systeminfo | findstr /B /C:"OS"' to obtain the full version number, then compare the Build number to the affected ranges provided
    Affected if The Build number falls below any of these thresholds: 10240.21034, 14393.8148, 17763.7434, 19044.5965, 19045.5965, 22621.5472, 22631.5472, 26100.4270
  2. Confirm LSASS service is running
    Open Services (services.msc) and verify the 'Local Security Authority Subsystem Service' (LSASS) status is Running, or run 'sc query lsass'
    Affected if LSASS is running (this is the default and required state; the vulnerability exists in the running service)
  3. Check for installed security updates
    Run 'Get-HotFix | Where-Object {$_.Description -eq "Security Update"}' or view the Windows Update history in Settings > Windows Update > Update history to look for recent security patches
    Affected if No security update addressing this CVE is listed in the update history and the Windows version is within an affected build range

A system is affected if it runs a Windows version with a Build number lower than the thresholds listed AND lacks the corresponding security update for CVE-2025-32724.

Recommended fix High confidence

Windows 10 1507: Build 10.0.10240.21034 | Windows 10 1607: Build 10.0.14393.8148 | Windows 10 1809: Build 10.0.17763.7434 | Windows 10 21h2: Build 10.0.19044.5965 | Windows 10 22h2: Build 10.0.19045.5965 | Windows 11 22h2: Build 10.0.22621.5472 | Windows 11 23h2: Build 10.0.22631.5472 | Windows 11 2

  1. 1. Identify the current Windows version and build by running 'winver' or 'systeminfo' in Command Prompt
  2. 2. Determine which version category applies (Windows 10 1507, 1607, 1809, 21h2, 22h2, or Windows 11 22h2, 23h2, 24h2)
  3. 3. Open Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update
  4. 4. Click 'Check for updates' to download and install the latest security updates
  5. 5. Alternatively, manually download the specific KB update from the Microsoft Update Catalog for your Windows version
  6. 6. After installation, restart the system to apply the LSASS patch
  7. 7. Verify the update was applied by checking the installed updates list or running 'winver' to confirm the build number matches or exceeds the fixed version
Caveat Standard Windows security update risks - ensure backups exist and testing on non-critical systems first; LSASS restarts may briefly affect authentication services
