Overview
An out-of-bounds read vulnerability has been identified in Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), tracked as CVE-2025-26675. The vulnerability was disclosed on April 8, 2025, and was reported by Microsoft Corporation. This security flaw affects Windows systems running the Windows Subsystem for Linux component (NVD, CVE Mitre).
Technical details
The vulnerability is classified as an out-of-bounds read issue (CWE-125). Microsoft has assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH), with the following vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H. This scoring indicates that the vulnerability requires local access, low attack complexity, and low privileges to exploit, but can result in high impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability (NVD).
Impact
