Local kernel-memory disclosure via graphics component
Published Sep 13, 2022 · Updated Mar 11, 2025
Information disclosure in Microsoft Windows Graphics Component before the listed security updates allows local users to read kernel memory via unspecified vectors. The affected graphics component performs an undocumented operation that exposes memory contents; Microsoft has not published the precise code locus or input-handling mistake. Local low-privileged access is required, and the reported impact is confidentiality only with no integrity or availability effect.
