Synopsis

The Windows kernel on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The Windows kernel on the remote host has the following vulnerabilities :

- A memory allocation vulnerability exists. (CVE-2013-1300)

- A dereference vulnerability exists. (CVE-2013-1340)

- A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the Windows kernel-mode driver. (CVE-2013-1345)

- A TrueType Font parsing vulnerability exists. (CVE-2013-3129)

- An information disclosure vulnerability exists. (CVE-2013-3167)

- A buffer overflow vulnerability exists. (CVE-2013-3173)

- A flaw exists in kernel-mode drivers in how linked lists pointers are handled in PATHREC objects. (CVE-2013-3660)

A remote attacker could exploit any of these vulnerabilities to elevate privileges.

Solution

Microsoft has released a set of patches for Windows XP, 2003, Vista, 2008, 7, 2008 R2, 8, and 2012.
