Kernel information disclosure via improper Win32k handling
Published Jan 14, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Information disclosure in Win32k in affected Microsoft Windows releases allows local users to obtain kernel information. Microsoft has not published the specific Win32k object, function, or improper operation that returns the kernel information. Local low-privileged access is required, and the disclosure can assist further compromise without directly modifying data or interrupting service.
