Local information disclosure via memory object mishandling
Published Feb 11, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Information disclosure in the Microsoft Windows CNG service allows local users to read sensitive memory by running a crafted application. The Key Isolation service mishandles objects in memory, but Microsoft has not disclosed the affected object type or exact erroneous operation. Exploitation requires an authenticated local logon and application execution; the documented consequence excludes integrity and availability impact.
