Existe una vulnerabilidad de divulgación de información cuando el componente Windows GDI no muestra correctamente los contenidos de su memoria. Esto también se conoce como "Windows GDI Information Disclosure Vulnerability". Esto afecta a Windows Server 2016, Windows 10 y Windows 10 Servers.

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 EMF graphics. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a read past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute code in the context of the current process.
