CVE-2017-0167

Status: ModifiedMedium (5.5)—💥 Exploit

An information disclosure vulnerability exists in Windows 8.1, Windows RT 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 10, and Windows Server 2016 when the Windows kernel improperly handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could obtain information to further compromise the user's system, a.k.a. "Windows Kernel Information Disclosure Vulnerability."

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

💥 Public exploits

Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
