CVE-2017-11816 is fixed in 27 products on 1 platform, first by KB4041689, released October 10, 2017. It is not reported as exploited, but the vendor rates exploitation more likely. Patch Radar priority: Urgent.
<p>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. 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.</p> <p>To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would have to log on to an affected system and run a specially crafted application.</p> <p>The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how GDI handles memory addresses.</p>
