CVE: CVE-2017-0146
BID: 96707
### Background
Server Message Block (SMB) is the protocol used by Microsoft Windows computers to communicate over a network. SMBv1 was the first version of this protocol and is still supported by modern Windows versions.
### Problem
A race condition when handling Transaction requests, combined with type confusion between WriteAndX and Transaction requests, allows remote attackers to overwrite the connection session information with an Administrator session, leading to command execution.
### Resolution
Apply the patch referenced in MS17-010, or disable SMBv1.
