Patch available<p>An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the Windows kernel improperly initializes objects in memory.</p> <p>To exploit this vulnerability, an authenticated attacker could run a specially crafted application. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could obtain information to further compromise the user’s system.</p> <p>The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the Windows kernel initializes objects in memory.</p>

The product does not initialize or incorrectly initializes a resource, which might leave the resource in an unexpected state when it is accessed or used.
An attacker operating through local access may attempt exploitation with low privileges. If successful, the issue may obtain information outside the intended access boundary.

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.
No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.
No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.
CWE-665: Improper Initialization. The product does not initialize or incorrectly initializes a resource, which might leave the resource in an unexpected state when it is accessed or used.
