Windows Subsystem for Linux in Windows 10 1703, allows a denial of service vulnerability due to the way it handles objects in memory, aka "Windows Subsystem for Linux Denial of Service Vulnerability".
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
