Summary
The DNS server in Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP2 and Server 2008 SP2, R2, and R2 SP1 does not properly handle objects in memory during record lookup, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon restart) via a crafted query, aka "DNS Denial of Service Vulnerability."
Exploit prediction
30.10% 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.
