Synopsis
The remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.
Description
The remote Windows host is missing security update 5000803. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
- An information disclosure vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this to disclose potentially sensitive information. (CVE-2021-24107, CVE-2021-26869, CVE-2021-26884)
- An memory corruption vulnerability exists. An attacker can exploit this to corrupt the memory and cause unexpected behaviors within the system/application. (CVE-2021-26411)
- An elevation of privilege vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2021-1640, CVE-2021-26862, CVE-2021-26864, CVE-2021-26865, CVE-2021-26866, CVE-2021-26868, CVE-2021-26872, CVE-2021-26873, CVE-2021-26875, CVE-2021-26878, CVE-2021-26880, CVE-2021-26882, CVE-2021-26891, CVE-2021-26898, CVE-2021-26899, CVE-2021-26901, CVE-2021-27077)
- A remote code execution vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this to bypass authentication and execute unauthorized arbitrary commands. (CVE-2021-26861, CVE-2021-26877, CVE-2021-26881, CVE-2021-26893, CVE-2021-26894, CVE-2021-26895, CVE-2021-26897)
- A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue to cause the affected component to deny system or application services. (CVE-2021-26879, CVE-2021-26886, CVE-2021-26896, CVE-2021-27063)
- A security feature bypass vulnerability exists. An attacker can exploit this and bypass the security feature and perform unauthorized actions compromising the integrity of the system/application. (CVE-2021-26892)
