CVE-2010-1892 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The TCP/IP stack in Microsoft Windows Vista SP1 and SP2, Windows Server 2008 Gold, SP2, and R2, and Windows 7 does not properly handle malformed IPv6 packets, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system hang) via multiple crafted packets, aka "IPv6 Memory Corruption Vulnerability.". EPSS estimates a 62.00% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
