Technical details
This vulnerability is an out-of-bounds read in the Windows Storage Spaces Controller, allowing disclosure of information from memory regions that should not be accessible. The attack requires local access and the attacker must be authorized (authenticated) on the system. An attacker with these preconditions can read memory beyond intended buffer boundaries, potentially exposing sensitive data such as encryption keys, system secrets, or other protected information. A security update is available from Microsoft to remediate this issue.
