Microsoft Windows ARP Request Denial of Service Vulnerability

Microsoft Windows is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability due to its inefficient handling of malicious ARP requests.

Attackers can exploit this issue to consume excessive CPU resources, denying service to legitimate users for the duration of the attack.

Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and Vista are vulnerable to this issue; other Microsoft operating systems and versions may also be affected.
