Descriptions

An information disclosure vulnerability exists in Windows Adobe Type Manager Font Driver (ATMFD.dll) when it fails to properly handle objects in memory, aka 'OpenType Font Driver Information Disclosure Vulnerability'.

Se presenta una vulnerabilidad de divulgación de información en Windows Adobe Type Manager Font Driver (ATMFD.dll), cuando no es capaz de manejar apropiadamente objetos en la memoria, también se conoce como "OpenType Font Driver Information Disclosure Vulnerability".

This vulnerability allows attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Microsoft Windows. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the handling of Type 1 fonts in the Windows kernel. 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 escalate privileges and execute code in the context of the kernel.
