Official Description

Technical Analysis

CVE-2018-10626 requires adjacent network access, limiting remote exploitation but still posing risk in shared or local network environments.

Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.

The vulnerability has a "Changed" scope, meaning successful exploitation can impact components beyond the vulnerable component itself — such as the host operating system or adjacent services.
