Third-Party Vendor Issues Temporary Patch for Windows GDI Vulnerability

A vulnerability discovered by Google Project Zero security researchers and left without a patch by Microsoft received a temporary fix from third-party security vendor ACROS Security. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2017-0038, is a bug in Windows GDI (Graphics Device Interface), a library that Windows uses to process graphics and formatted text, for both the video display and when sending data to local printers. Microsoft delayed February’s security updates to next month’s Patch Tuesday, scheduled to arrive on March 15.
