Summary
The TCP/IP implementation in Microsoft Windows Vista Gold, SP1, and SP2 and Server 2008 Gold and SP2, when a custom network driver is used, does not properly handle local fragmentation of Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) over UDP packets, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted packets, aka "Header MDL Fragmentation Vulnerability."
Exploit prediction
48.76% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 98% of all scored CVEs (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-09).

Fencer Intel keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.
