Description The issue is related to the kernel-mode drivers in Microsoft Windows, which allow local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a crafted application. This is due to the improper handling of buffer elements under certain conditions, enabling an attacker to request the contents of specific memory addresses. An attacker who successfully exploits this issue could potentially read data that is not intended to be disclosed, although it would not allow them to execute code or elevate their user rights directly. The exploitation of this issue requires valid logon credentials and the ability to execute programs on the system.
