Summary
A spoofing flaw in Microsoft Windows allows disclosure of NTLMv2 hashes, stemming from external control of a file name or path in an NTLM-related component. An attacker can exploit it remotely over the network without authentication, but it requires the victim to interact with the crafted resource, such as by opening or viewing it.
