Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Microsoft Windows Vista SP2 Microsoft Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1 Microsoft Windows 7 SP1 Microsoft Windows 8.1 Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2 Microsoft Windows RT 8.1 Microsoft Windows 10 Gold, 1511, and 1607 Microsoft Office 2007 SP3 Microsoft Office 2010 SP2 Microsoft Word Viewer Microsoft Skype for Business 2016 Microsoft Lync 2013 SP1 Microsoft Lync 2010 Microsoft Lync 2010 Attendee Microsoft Live Meeting 2007 Console

Description The issue allows remote attackers to bypass the Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) protection mechanism. Multiple information disclosure vulnerabilities exist 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 disclosures do not allow arbitrary code execution; however, they could allow arbitrary code to be run if the attacker uses one in combination with another vulnerability. To exploit these vulnerabilities, an attacker would have to log on to an affected system.

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 8.1, 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 8.1, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk. For Microsoft Windows 10 Gold, 1511, and 1607, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk. For Microsoft Office 2007 SP3, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk.
