Threat Score
A critical heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2026-41096, CVSS 9.8) in the Windows DNS Client can allow remote, unauthenticated code execution without user interaction; Microsoft released patches on May 12, 2026, and administrators are urged to deploy updates and restrict DNS to trusted resolvers even though exploitation is currently rated "Exploitation Unlikely" and no public exploits have been observed.
