The Microsoft Windows Subsystem for Linux on Microsoft Windows 10 1703 allows a denial of service vulnerability when it improperly 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.
