Microsoft Edge Information Disclosure Vulnerability - CVE-2017-8597

ID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:41964Date: (C)2017-09-13   (M)2024-01-19
Class: VULNERABILITYFamily: windows




An information disclosure vulnerability exists when Microsoft Edge does not properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could obtain information to further compromise the user's system. In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a website in an attempt to exploit the vulnerability. In addition, compromised websites and websites that accept or host user-provided content could contain specially crafted content that could exploit the vulnerability. However, in all cases an attacker would have no way to force a user to view the attacker-controlled content. Instead, an attacker would have to convince a user to take action. For example, an attacker could trick a user into clicking a link that takes the user to the attacker's site. The security update addresses the vulnerability by changing how Microsoft Edge handles objects in memory.
