Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-0299)
CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local authenticated attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.
The weakness exists due to improper initialization of memory address by the Windows kernel. A local attacker can run a specially crafted application to retrieve the base address of the kernel driver from a compromised process and bypass Kernel Address Space Layout Randomization (KASLR).
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in security bypass.
