El componente Uniscribe de Windows en Microsoft Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 Gold y R2, Windows RT 8.1, Windows 10 Gold, 1511, 1607, 1703 y Windows Server 2016 permite que ocurra una vulnerabilidad de ejecución remota de código cuando gestiona de manera incorrecta objetos en la memoria. Esto también se conoce como "Uniscribe Remote Code Execution Vulnerability".

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Windows. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the processing of Bidirectional Text. Crafted data in a file can trigger a read past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.
