Microsoft’s Invisible Patch: RasMan Crash Bug Leaves Admins in a Bind!
Microsoft’s RasMan service is taking an unexpected vacation, thanks to a zero-day bug that lets users crash it faster than you can say “denial-of-service.” While 0patch offers a free fix, Microsoft’s official patch release date remains as elusive as a unicorn in a haystack. Meanwhile, exploits are making their rounds online.
Hot Take:
Microsoft’s RasMan service is down, but not out! Who knew that the way to SYSTEM privileges was through a RasMan crash diet? Good thing 0patch came in with a free, unofficial patch before malicious actors turned RasMan into the villain of the cybersecurity multiverse. Meanwhile, Microsoft seems to be playing a game of hide and seek with the official patch – ready or not, here it comes… eventually!
Key Points:
- Microsoft’s RasMan service has a zero-day vulnerability that leads to a denial-of-service (DoS) attack.
- The vulnerability, CVE-2025-59230, allows privilege escalation to SYSTEM privileges.
- 0patch has released an unofficial patch while Microsoft remains mum on an official fix.
- The exploit is freely downloadable and not detected as malicious by malware engines.
- The bug stems from a coding issue with processing circular linked lists, causing a memory access violation.
