CVE-2016-3209 is an information disclosure vulnerability in the Graphics Device Interface (GDI/GDI+) of various Microsoft Windows versions, Office products, Lync, Skype for Business, .NET Framework, and Silverlight.

With a CVSS score of 5.5 (Medium), it requires user interaction (UI:R) and local access (AV:L) to achieve high confidentiality impact (C:H) without affecting integrity or availability. While not actively exploited in the wild (KEV: No) and lacking significant community discussion or media coverage, an ExploitDB entry (EDB-40598) exists, indicating potential for exploitation.
