Local information disclosure via out-of-bounds buffer read
Published Sep 28, 2022 · Updated May 20, 2025
Out-of-bounds read in Trend Micro Deep Security Agent 20 for Windows allows local users to disclose sensitive information from memory. The User Mode Hooking Monitor Engine fails to validate user-supplied data before reading past the end of an allocated buffer. Low-privileged code execution is required; the memory disclosure serves only as one part of a separate privilege-escalation chain.
