CVE-2024-38199 is a critical Remote Code Execution vulnerability in the Windows Line Printer Daemon (LPD) service. This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected systems. The Windows LPD service has a use-after-free vulnerability, classified as CWE-416, which can be exploited by sending specially crafted requests to the server. Although the CVSS score is 9.8, indicating high severity, SOCRadar's Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is currently 30, suggesting that, based on Threat Actor activity and data from the dark web, the risk is not as immediate compared to vulnerabilities with SVRS scores above 80. However, due to the "In The Wild" tag, organizations should prioritize patching vulnerable systems to prevent potential exploitation. Successful exploitation could lead to complete system compromise.
