A temporary fix is available for the Windows Graphics Device Interface (Windows GDI) vulnerability that was disclosed a couple of weeks ago.

The flaw was initially discovered by Mateusz Jurczyk, an engineer with Google’s Project Zero team, in March 2016, along with other issues in the user-mode Windows GDI library (gdi32.dll). Microsoft attempted to resolve the bug with its June 2016 patches but failed to do so, and the researcher filed another report in November 2016.
