CVE-2019-1016
An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the Windows GDI component improperly discloses the contents of its memory.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (4.31%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the Windows GDI component improperly discloses the contents of its memory.

There are multiple ways an attacker could exploit the vulnerability, such as by convincing a user to open a specially crafted document, or by convincing a user to visit an untrusted webpage.
