Synopsis

The remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote Windows host is missing security update 4457140 or cumulative update 4457135. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way the scripting engine handles objects in memory in Microsoft browsers. The vulnerability could corrupt memory in such a way that an attacker could execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the current user. (CVE-2018-8457)

- An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the Windows GDI component improperly discloses the contents of its memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could obtain information to further compromise the users system. There are multiple ways an attacker could exploit the vulnerability, such as by convincing a user to open a specially crafted document, or by convincing a user to visit an untrusted webpage. The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the Windows GDI component handles objects in memory. (CVE-2018-8424)

- An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Windows improperly handles calls to Advanced Local Procedure Call (ALPC). An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the security context of the local system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. (CVE-2018-8440)

- A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Microsoft JET Database Engine that could allow remote code execution on an affected system. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights. (CVE-2018-8392, CVE-2018-8393)

- A denial of service vulnerability exists in the Microsoft Server Block Message (SMB) when an attacker sends specially crafted requests to the server. An attacker who exploited this vulnerability could cause the affected system to crash. To attempt to exploit this issue, an attacker would need to send specially crafted SMB requests to the target system. Note that the denial of service vulnerability would not allow an attacker to execute code or to elevate their user rights, but it could cause the affected system to stop accepting requests. The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting the manner in which SMB handles specially crafted client requests. (CVE-2018-8335)

- A remote code execution vulnerability exists when the Microsoft XML Core Services MSXML parser processes user input. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could run malicious code remotely to take control of the users system. (CVE-2018-8420)

- An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the Windows Graphics component improperly handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could obtain information to further compromise the users system. An authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by running a specially crafted application. The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the Windows Graphics Component handles objects in memory. (CVE-2018-8433)

- A remote code execution vulnerability exists when Internet Explorer improperly accesses objects in memory. The vulnerability could corrupt memory in such a way that an attacker could execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the current user. (CVE-2018-8447)

- A remote code execution vulnerability exists when Microsoft .NET Framework processes input. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take control of an affected system. (CVE-2018-8421)

- An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Windows Kernel API improperly handles registry objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain elevated privileges on a targeted system. A locally authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by running a specially crafted application. The security update addresses the vulnerability by helping to ensure that the Windows Kernel API properly handles objects in memory. (CVE-2018-8410)

- An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Windows that allows a sandbox escape. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could use the sandbox escape to elevate privileges on an affected system. This vulnerability by itself does not allow arbitrary code execution. However, the vulnerability could allow arbitrary code to run if an attacker uses it in combination with another vulnerability, such as a remote code execution vulnerability or another elevation of privilege vulnerability, that can leverage the elevated privileges when code execution is attempted. The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Windows parses files. (CVE-2018-8468)

- An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the Windows kernel improperly handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could obtain information to further compromise the users system. An authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by running a specially crafted application. The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the Windows kernel handles objects in memory. (CVE-2018-8442, CVE-2018-8443)

- An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the Windows kernel fails to properly initialize a memory address. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could obtain information to further compromise the users system. (CVE-2018-8419)

- An information disclosure vulnerability exists when Windows Hyper-V on a host operating system fails to properly validate input from an authenticated user on a guest operating system. (CVE-2018-8434)

- An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the Windows kernel improperly handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could obtain information to further compromise the users system. (CVE-2018-8446)

- An information disclosure vulnerability exists in Windows when the Windows bowser.sys kernel-mode driver fails to properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could potentially disclose contents of System memory. (CVE-2018-8271)

- A remote code execution vulnerability exists when the Windows font library improperly handles specially crafted embedded fonts. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take control of the affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. (CVE-2018-8332)

- An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the browser scripting engine improperly handle object types. An attacker who has successfully exploited this vulnerability might be able to read privileged data across trust boundaries. In browsing scenarios, an attacker could convince a user to visit a malicious site and leverage the vulnerability to obtain privileged information from the browser process, such as sensitive data from other opened tabs. An attacker could also inject malicious code into advertising networks used by trusted sites or embed malicious code on a compromised, but trusted, site. The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the browser scripting engine handles object types. (CVE-2018-8315)

- An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the way that the Microsoft Server Message Block 2.0 (SMBv2) server handles certain requests. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could craft a special packet, which could lead to information disclosure from the server. (CVE-2018-8444)

- A remote code execution vulnerability exists when Windows does not properly handle specially crafted image files. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-8475)

"The remote Windows host is missing security update 4457140
or cumulative update 4457135. It is, therefore, affected by
multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way
    the scripting engine handles objects in memory in
    Microsoft browsers. The vulnerability could corrupt
    memory in such a way that an attacker could execute
    arbitrary code in the context of the current user. An
    attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability
    could gain the same user rights as the current user.
    (CVE-2018-8457)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the
    Windows GDI component improperly discloses the contents
    of its memory. An attacker who successfully exploited
    the vulnerability could obtain information to further
    compromise the users system. There are multiple ways an
    attacker could exploit the vulnerability, such as by
    convincing a user to open a specially crafted document,
    or by convincing a user to visit an untrusted webpage.
    The security update addresses the vulnerability by
    correcting how the Windows GDI component handles objects
    in memory. (CVE-2018-8424)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when
    Windows improperly handles calls to Advanced Local
    Procedure Call (ALPC). An attacker who successfully
    exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in
    the security context of the local system. An attacker
    could then install programs; view, change, or delete
    data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
    (CVE-2018-8440)

  - A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Microsoft
    JET Database Engine that could allow remote code
    execution on an affected system. An attacker who
    successfully exploited this vulnerability could take
    control of an affected system. An attacker could then
    install programs; view, change, or delete data; or
    create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose
    accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the
    system could be less impacted than users who operate
    with administrative user rights.  (CVE-2018-8392,
    CVE-2018-8393)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the
    Microsoft Server Block Message (SMB) when an attacker
    sends specially crafted requests to the server. An
    attacker who exploited this vulnerability could cause
    the affected system to crash. To attempt to exploit this
    issue, an attacker would need to send specially crafted
    SMB requests to the target system. Note that the denial
    of service vulnerability would not allow an attacker to
    execute code or to elevate their user rights, but it
    could cause the affected system to stop accepting
    requests. The security update addresses the
    vulnerability by correcting the manner in which SMB
    handles specially crafted client requests.
    (CVE-2018-8335)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when the
    Microsoft XML Core Services MSXML parser processes user
    input. An attacker who successfully exploited the
    vulnerability could run malicious code remotely to take
    control of the users system.  (CVE-2018-8420)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the
    Windows Graphics component improperly handles objects in
    memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this
    vulnerability could obtain information to further
    compromise the users system. An authenticated attacker
    could exploit this vulnerability by running a specially
    crafted application. The update addresses the
    vulnerability by correcting how the Windows Graphics
    Component handles objects in memory. (CVE-2018-8433)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when
    Internet Explorer improperly accesses objects in memory.
    The vulnerability could corrupt memory in such a way
    that an attacker could execute arbitrary code in the
    context of the current user. An attacker who
    successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain the
    same user rights as the current user.  (CVE-2018-8447)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when
    Microsoft .NET Framework processes input. An attacker
    who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take
    control of an affected system.  (CVE-2018-8421)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the
    Windows Kernel API improperly handles registry objects
    in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the
    vulnerability could gain elevated privileges on a
    targeted system. A locally authenticated attacker could
    exploit this vulnerability by running a specially
    crafted application. The security update addresses the
    vulnerability by helping to ensure that the Windows
    Kernel API properly handles objects in memory.
    (CVE-2018-8410)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in
    Windows that allows a sandbox escape. An attacker who
    successfully exploited the vulnerability could use the
    sandbox escape to elevate privileges on an affected
    system. This vulnerability by itself does not allow
    arbitrary code execution. However, the vulnerability
    could allow arbitrary code to run if an attacker uses it
    in combination with another vulnerability, such as a
    remote code execution vulnerability or another elevation
    of privilege vulnerability, that can leverage the
    elevated privileges when code execution is attempted.
    The security update addresses the vulnerability by
    correcting how Windows parses files. (CVE-2018-8468)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the
    Windows kernel improperly handles objects in memory. An
    attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability
    could obtain information to further compromise the users
    system. An authenticated attacker could exploit this
    vulnerability by running a specially crafted
    application. The update addresses the vulnerability by
    correcting how the Windows kernel handles objects in
    memory. (CVE-2018-8442, CVE-2018-8443)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the
    Windows kernel fails to properly initialize a memory
    address. An attacker who successfully exploited this
    vulnerability could obtain information to further
    compromise the users system.  (CVE-2018-8419)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when
    Windows Hyper-V on a host operating system fails to
    properly validate input from an authenticated user on a
    guest operating system.  (CVE-2018-8434)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the
    Windows kernel improperly handles objects in memory. An
    attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability
    could obtain information to further compromise the users
    system.  (CVE-2018-8446)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in
    Windows when the Windows bowser.sys kernel-mode driver
    fails to properly handle objects in memory. An attacker
    who successfully exploited the vulnerability could
    potentially disclose contents of System memory.
    (CVE-2018-8271)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when the
    Windows font library improperly handles specially
    crafted embedded fonts. An attacker who successfully
    exploited this vulnerability could take control of the
    affected system. An attacker could then install
    programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new
    accounts with full user rights.  (CVE-2018-8332)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the
    browser scripting engine improperly handle object types.
    An attacker who has successfully exploited this
    vulnerability might be able to read privileged data
    across trust boundaries. In browsing scenarios, an
    attacker could convince a user to visit a malicious site
    and leverage the vulnerability to obtain privileged
    information from the browser process, such as sensitive
    data from other opened tabs. An attacker could also
    inject malicious code into advertising networks used by
    trusted sites or embed malicious code on a compromised,
    but trusted, site. The security update addresses the
    vulnerability by correcting how the browser scripting
    engine handles object types. (CVE-2018-8315)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the
    way that the Microsoft Server Message Block 2.0 (SMBv2)
    server handles certain requests. An attacker who
    successfully exploited this vulnerability could craft a
    special packet, which could lead to information
    disclosure from the server.  (CVE-2018-8444)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when
    Windows does not properly handle specially crafted image
    files. An attacker who successfully exploited the
    vulnerability could execute arbitrary code.
