2) Memory corruption

EUVDB-ID: #VU17623

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 4.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-0661

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to gain access to obtain potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to an error when the Windows kernel improperly handles objects in memory. A local attacker can run a specially crafted application and obtain information to further compromise the users system.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.
