However, the denial of service condition could prevent authorized users from using system resources.</p> <p>To exploit the vulnerability, the attacker would use a malicious DNS server to send corrupted DNS responses to the target.</p> <p>The update addresses the vulnerability by modifying how Windows DNSAPI.dll handles DNS responses.</p>
