Synopsis

The remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote Windows host is missing security update 5000802. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- An elevation of privilege vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2021-1640, CVE-2021-1729, CVE-2021-24090, CVE-2021-24095, CVE-2021-26860, CVE-2021-26862, CVE-2021-26863, CVE-2021-26864, CVE-2021-26865, CVE-2021-26866, CVE-2021-26868, CVE-2021-26870, CVE-2021-26871, CVE-2021-26872, CVE-2021-26873, CVE-2021-26874, CVE-2021-26875, CVE-2021-26878, CVE-2021-26880, CVE-2021-26882, CVE-2021-26885, CVE-2021-26889, CVE-2021-26891, CVE-2021-26898, CVE-2021-26899, CVE-2021-26900, CVE-2021-26901, CVE-2021-27070, CVE-2021-27077)

- An information disclosure vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this to disclose potentially sensitive information. (CVE-2021-24107, CVE-2021-26869, CVE-2021-26884)

- A remote code execution vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this to bypass authentication and execute unauthorized arbitrary commands. (CVE-2021-26861, CVE-2021-26867, CVE-2021-26876, CVE-2021-26881, CVE-2021-26890, CVE-2021-27085)

- 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)

- 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)

- 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)
