A remote code execution vulnerability exists when Windows improperly handles objects in memory. To exploit the vulnerability an attacker would have to convince a user to run a specially crafted application.

An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. The updates address the vulnerability by correcting how Windows handles objects in memory.
