CVE-2024-49112 [HIGH] Microsoft Patch Tuesday for December 2024 contains four critical vulnerabilities
The Patch Tuesday for December of 2024 includes 72 vulnerabilities, including four that Microsoft marked as “critical.” The remaining vulnerabilities listed are classified as “important.”
Microsoft assessed that exploitation of the four “critical” vulnerabilities is “less likely.”
CVE-2024-49112 is the most serious of this bunch, with a CVSS severity score of 9.8 out of 10. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability in Windows Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) calls to execute arbitrary code within the context of the LDAP service. Additionally, CVE-2024-49124 and CVE-2024-49127 permit an unauthenticated attacker to send a specially crafted request to a vulnerable LDAP server, potentially executing the attacker's code if they succeed in a "race condition." Although the above
