Windows Error Reporting Information Disclosure Vulnerability

An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the way Windows Error Reporting (WER) handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could obtain information to further compromise the user’s system.

To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would have to log on to an affected system and run a specially crafted application or convince a target to run a crafted application.

The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting the way WER handles objects in memory.
