This security update resolves vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows. The most severe of the vulnerabilities could allow security feature bypass if the Windows kernel fails to determine how a low integrity application can use certain object manager features.

Detailed Information on the risk:

An information disclosure vulnerability exists in Microsoft Windows when the Windows kernel fails to properly handle certain page fault system calls. An authenticated attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could disclose information from one process to another.
To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would have to either log on locally to an affected system, or convince a locally authenticated user to execute a specially crafted application.
