Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds read
EUVDB-ID: #VU18179
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 3.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-0849
CWE-ID:
CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition when processing untrusted data within the Windows GDI component. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted document, trick the victim into opening it, trigger out-of-bounds read error and read contents of uninitialized memory on the system.
MitigationInstall update from vendor's website.
