Synopsis

The remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote Windows host is missing security update 5010354. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities - An information disclosure vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this to disclose potentially sensitive information. (CVE-2022-21993, CVE-2022-21998)

- A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue to cause the affected component to deny system or application services. (CVE-2022-22002)

- A remote code execution vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this to bypass authentication and execute unauthorized arbitrary commands. (CVE-2022-21992, CVE-2022-21995)

- An elevation of privilege vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2022-21989, CVE-2022-21994, CVE-2022-21997, CVE-2022-21999, CVE-2022-22000, CVE-2022-22001)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Apply Security Update 5010354 or 5010456
