Description

An information disclosure vulnerability exists when Windows Hyper-V writes uninitialized memory to disk. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by reading a file to recover kernel memory. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would first require access to a Hyper-V host. The security update addresses the vulnerability by ensuring Hyper-V properly initializes memory before writing it to disk.
