| MS16-106 | Security Update for Microsoft Graphics Component (3185848) | Windows Vista | Critical | 14-09-2016 |
Technical Information
Brief overview of the risk:
Multiple elevation of privilege vulnerabilities exist in the way that certain Windows kernel-mode drivers handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited these vulnerabilities could run arbitrary code in kernel mode.
Detailed Information on the risk:
An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the way that the Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI) handles objects in memory, allowing an attacker to retrieve information from a targeted system. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could use the retrieved information to circumvent Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) in Windows, which helps guard against a broad class of vulnerabilities. By itself, the information disclosure does not allow arbitrary code execution; however, it could allow arbitrary code to be run if the attacker uses it in combination with another vulnerability, such as a remote code execution vulnerability, that is capable of leveraging the ASLR circumvention.
