Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2018-0896 is a Windows kernel information disclosure issue. The source says affected Windows versions can expose memory address information because of how the kernel handles memory addresses. By itself, this is described as disclosure, not code execution, but it may reduce defenses for other attacks. Exposure is most likely on hosts running the listed Windows versions: Server 2008, Windows 7, Windows 8.1/RT 8.1, Server 2012, Server 2016, and Windows 10 releases through 1709. Handle through the normal vulnerability remediation program unless local exposure is broad or legacy systems are common. It is not sourced as actively exploited, but kernel memory disclosure can support chained attacks and should not be ignored. Mitigation focus: Check Microsoft MSRC guidance for CVE-2018-0896 and applicable updates.; Patch affected Windows hosts according to Microsoft guidance.; Prioritize systems that process untrusted content or support shared interactive use..
