Synopsis

The remote Windows host has a browser plugin that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote Windows host is missing KB3044132. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- Multiple memory corruption issues exist due to not properly validating user input, which an attacker can exploit to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-0332, CVE-2015-0333, CVE-2015-0335, CVE-2015-0339)

- Multiple type confusions flaws exist, which an attacker can exploit to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-0334, CVE-2015-0336)

- An unspecified flaw exists that allows an attacker to bypass cross-domain policy. (CVE-2015-0337)

- An integer overflow condition exists due to not properly validating user input, which an attacker can exploit to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-0338)

- An unspecified flaw exists that allows an attacker to bypass restrictions and upload arbitrary files. (CVE-2015-0340)

- Multiple use-after-free errors exist that can allow an attacker to deference already freed memory and execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-0341, CVE-2015-0342)

Solution

Install Microsoft KB3044132.
