CVE-2024-57972 Details
Description
The pairing API request handler in Microsoft HoloLens 1 (Windows Holographic) through 10.0.17763.3046 and HoloLens 2 (Windows Holographic) through 10.0.22621.1244 allows remote attackers to cause a Denial of Service (resource consumption and device unusability) by sending many requests through the Device Portal framework.
A denial-of-service vulnerability has been identified in Microsoft HoloLens 1 (Windows Holographic) versions prior to 10.0.17763.3046 and HoloLens 2 (Windows Holographic) versions prior to 10.0.22621.1244. The issue arises in the pairing API request handler, which is part of the Device Portal framework. Remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability by sending a high volume of pairing requests through the Device Portal, leading to resource exhaustion and making the device unresponsive to legitimate user commands.
It is recommended to implement restrictions at the API level on pairing requests from specific IP addresses and to limit the total number of requests that can be made within a short timeframe.
