Authenticated memory disclosure requiring user interaction
Published Apr 13, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Information disclosure in Microsoft Windows Media Photo Codec allows remote authenticated users to read memory after user interaction. Microsoft has not disclosed the codec routine or invalid operation that exposes memory while processing untrusted content. Low-privileged access and user interaction are required; the documented consequence is confidentiality loss without data modification or service interruption.
