Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.33%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

The default configuration of the Dr. Watson program in Windows NT and Windows 2000 generates user.dmp crash dump files with world-readable permissions, which could allow a local user to gain access to sensitive information.
