Vulnerability description

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to an error when the Windows kernel handles objects in memory. A local attacker can run a specially crafted application, retrieve the memory address of a kernel object and bypass Kernel Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR).

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in further attack.
