CVE-2020-0928
<p>An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the Windows kernel improperly handles objects in memory.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.13%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
<p>An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the Windows kernel improperly handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could obtain information to further compromise the user’s system.</p> <p>To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would have to log on to an affected system and run a specially crafted application.
