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.\nTo exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would have to log on to an affected system and run a specially crafted application.\nThe security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how GDI handles memory addresses.","published":"2020-05-21T23:15:17.000Z","lastModified":"2026-08-19T17:17:24.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"secure@microsoft.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":5.5,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"},"cwe":[],"affected":["microsoft/windows 10","microsoft/windows server 2016"],"epss":{"score":0.02018,"percentile":0.80789,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.02%).
