Microsoft Security Bulletin MS16-074 - Important
Security Update for Microsoft Graphics Component (3164036)
Published: June 14, 2016 | Updated: June 15, 2016
Version: 1.1
Executive Summary
This security update resolves vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows. The most severe of the vulnerabilities could allow elevation of privilege if a user opens a specially crafted application.
This security update is rated Important for all supported releases of Microsoft Windows. For more information, see the Affected Software and Vulnerability Severity Ratings section.
The security update addresses the vulnerabilities by correcting how:
- The Windows Graphics Component (GDI32.dll) handles objects in memory
- The Windows kernel-mode driver (Win32k.sys) handles objects in memory and helps to prevent unintended elevation of privilege from user-mode
- The Adobe Type Manager Font Driver (ATMFD.dll) handles objects in memory
For more information about the vulnerabilities, see the Vulnerability Information section.
For more information about this update, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 3164036.

Vulnerability Information
Windows Graphics Component Information Disclosure Vulnerability – CVE-2016-3216
An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the Windows Graphics Component (GDI32.dll) fails to properly handle objects in memory, allowing an attacker to retrieve information that could lead to an Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) bypass. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could cause an information disclosure to bypass the ASLR security feature that protects users from a broad class of vulnerabilities.
The security feature bypass itself does not allow arbitrary code execution. However, an attacker could use the ASLR bypass vulnerability in conjunction with another vulnerability, such as a remote code execution vulnerability, that could take advantage of the ASLR bypass to run arbitrary code.
To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker could convince a use to run a specially crafted application. The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the Windows Graphics Component handles addresses in memory.
