Description
The issue is related to the improper handling of the paged kernel pool for allocation of uninitialized memory by kernel-mode drivers in Microsoft Windows. This allows local users to obtain sensitive information about kernel addresses via a crafted application. An attacker who successfully exploits this issue could use it to disclose memory addresses or other sensitive kernel information.
Recommendations
For Microsoft Windows Vista SP2, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk.
For Microsoft Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk.
For Microsoft Windows 7 SP1, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk.
For Microsoft Windows 8, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk.
For Microsoft Windows 8.1, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk.
For Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk.
For Microsoft Windows RT Gold and 8.1, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to sensitive kernel information until a patch is available.
