- Windows Server 2019 and Windows 10 version 1809 are not vulnerable by default. Unless you have enabled the HTTP Trailer Support via EnableTrailerSupport registry value, the systems are not vulnerable.
- Delete the DWORD registry value “EnableTrailerSupport” if present under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters
- This mitigation only applies to Windows Server 2019 and Windows 10, version 1809 and does not apply to the Windows 20H2 and newer.
- How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?

- Is this wormable?
- Yes. Microsoft recommends prioritizing the patching of affected servers.
- Windows 10, Version 1909 is not in the Security Updates table. Is it affected by this vulnerability?
