Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Microsoft Windows Vista SP2 Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1 Windows 7 SP1 Windows 8.1 Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2 Windows RT 8.1 Windows 10 Gold, 1511, and 1607 Office 2007 SP3 Office 2010 SP2 Word Viewer Skype for Business 2016 Lync 2013 SP1 Lync 2010 Lync 2010 Attendee Live Meeting 2007 Console .NET Framework versions 3.0 SP2, 3.5, 3.5.1, 4.5.2, and 4.6 Silverlight 5

Description The issue allows remote attackers to bypass the Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) protection mechanism. An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the way that the Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI) handles objects in memory, allowing an attacker to retrieve information from a targeted system. This could be used to circumvent ASLR in Windows, which helps guard against a broad class of vulnerabilities. By itself, the information disclosure does not allow arbitrary code execution; however, it could allow arbitrary code to be run if the attacker uses it in combination with another vulnerability. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would have to log on to an affected system.
