The GDI component in Microsoft Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1, Windows 7 SP1, Office for Mac 2011, and Office 2016 for Mac allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from process memory via a crafted web site, aka "GDI Information Disclosure Vulnerability."

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a Microsoft GDI information disclosure issue affecting older Windows versions and Office for Mac releases. A remote attacker could use a crafted website to read sensitive data from process memory. The sources do not provide CVSS scoring or evidence of active exploitation. Exposure is most likely where legacy Microsoft systems remain: Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2/R2 SP1, Windows 7 SP1, Office for Mac 2011, or Office 2016 for Mac. Risk increases if affected users browse untrusted websites. Prioritize this for legacy-asset cleanup and patch verification. It is not KEV-listed in the supplied data, but remote web-triggered memory disclosure on unsupported Microsoft platforms can still create meaningful confidentiality risk. Mitigation focus: Review Microsoft MS16-146 and MS16-148 guidance for the applicable product line.; Apply the relevant Microsoft security updates where affected products remain supported.; Retire or isolate unsupported affected Windows and Office for Mac deployments..
