#Microsoft Windows Codecs Library

**What type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could potentially read small portions of heap memory.

**What type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability?** Exploiting this vulnerability could allow the disclosure of certain kernel memory content.

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is adjacent (AV:A). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** Exploiting this vulnerability requires an attacker to be within proximity of the target system in order to send and receive radio transmissions.

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is local (AV:L). Why does the CVE title indicate that this is a remote code execution?** The word **Remote** in the title refers to the location of the attacker. This type of exploit is sometimes referred to as Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE). The attack itself is carried out locally. For example, when the score indicates that the **Attack Vector** is **Local** and **User Interaction** is **Required**, this could describe an exploit in which an attacker, through social engineering, convinces a victim to download and open a specially crafted file from a website which leads to a local attack on their computer.

**According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?** An attacker must send the user a malicious file and convince them to open it.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An authenticated attacker could use Remote Desktop to connect to a vulnerable system that has Plug and Play device redirection enabled. Alternatively, an attacker could plug a specially crafted USB device into the port of a vulnerable system.
