Summary
Impact: Spoofing. Microsoft rating: Moderate. Not known to be exploited — Exploitation Less Likely. Customer action: Required.
Details
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.
According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?
In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a website (or leverage a compromised website that accepts or hosts user-provided content) that contains a specially crafted file that is designed to exploit the vulnerability. However, an attacker would have no way to force the user to visit the website. Instead, an attacker would have to convince the user to click a link, typically by way of an enticement in an email or Instant Messenger message, and then convince the user to open the specially crafted file.
Why is the severity for this CVE rated as Moderate, but the CVSS score is 8.3?
Per our severity guidelines, the amount of user interaction or preconditions required to allow this sort of exploitation downgraded the severity. The CVSS scoring system doesn't allow for this type of nuance.
