Summary
Impact: Information Disclosure. Microsoft rating: Important. Not known to be exploited — Exploitation Less Likely. Customer action: Required.
Details
What type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability?
An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could potentially read small portions of heap memory.
According to the CVSS metric, a successful exploitation could lead to a scope change (S:C). What does this mean for this vulnerability?
An exploited vulnerability can affect resources beyond the security scope managed by the security authority of the vulnerable component. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are different and managed by different security authorities.
According to the CVSS metric, attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?
Successful exploitation depends on previously used memory in the affected process remaining in a readable state. These memory conditions are not fully under the attacker's control, so an attempt may not reliably disclose information.
