Kernel-information disclosure via improper win32k data return
Published Feb 11, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Information disclosure in Microsoft Windows and Windows Server win32k allows local users to read kernel information through a crafted application. Microsoft has not published the specific win32k function or the operation that improperly returns kernel information. Low-privilege local execution is required, and the disclosed impact is limited to kernel-information exposure.
