An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the Windows GDI component improperly discloses the contents of its memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could obtain information to further compromise the user’s system.

The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the Windows GDI component handles objects in memory.
