Microsoft patches Windows Active Directory RCE and denial-of-service flaws
November 11: GBHackers adds temporal scores, identifies the DoS as an untrusted pointer dereference, and lists Windows 10, 11, and Server 2016–2025, including some Server Core installs.
November 10 updates fix two Important Active Directory flaws; Microsoft reports no known exploitation.
Microsoft released November 10, 2026 updates for two Important Windows Active Directory vulnerabilities. CVE-2026-119948 is a stack-based buffer overflow scored CVSS 3.1 7.5 that an authorized attacker can use for code execution over a network when specific configurations exist. Attack complexity is high, privileges are low, and no user interaction is required. Microsoft says exploitation is not known and exploit code is unproven. The same disclosure covers CVE-2026-105559, an untrusted-pointer-dereference denial-of-service issue scored 6.5.
- CVE-2026-119948 is CVSS 7.5 base and 6.5 temporal.
- CVE-2026-105559 is CVSS 6.5 base, 5.7 temporal, and low complexity.
- Server 2022 patched build is 10.0.20348.5870 via KB5131090.
- Windows 11 23H2 patched build is 10.0.22631.7711 via KB5131087.
