CVE-2020-0705

Local memory disclosure via improper NDIS handling

Published Feb 11, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Information disclosure in Microsoft Windows and Windows Server NDIS allows local users to read protected memory through local execution. NDIS improperly handles memory, but Microsoft has not disclosed the affected function, memory object, or precise operation that discloses protected contents. Exploitation requires prior low-privilege code execution on the target; the documented consequence is confidentiality loss without integrity or availability impact.
