Memory disclosure via improper GDI object handling
Published Mar 12, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Information disclosure in Microsoft Windows GDI allows remote attackers to read process memory after a user opens crafted content. Microsoft identifies the faulty locus only as GDI object handling; it has not published the object type or exact operation that exposes memory. Exploitation requires convincing a user to open a crafted document or visit an untrusted webpage, and the disclosed data can aid further compromise without directly changing data or interrupting service.
