📋 Description

An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the Windows kernel that could allow an attacker to retrieve information that could lead to a Kernel Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) bypass.

The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the Windows kernel handles memory addresses.
