Synopsis
The remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.
Description
The remote Windows host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
- An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the Windows kernel due to improper handling of objects in memory. A local attacker can exploit this, via a crafted application, to run arbitrary code in kernel mode and therefore take control of the affected system. (CVE-2016-0040)
- Multiple code execution vulnerabilities exist due to improper validation of user-supplied input when loading DLL files. A local attacker can exploit these, via a specially crafted application, to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0041, CVE-2016-0042)
- A denial of service vulnerability exists in Microsoft Sync Framework due to improper processing of crafted input that uses the 'change batch' structure. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted packets sent to the SyncShareSvc service, to cause the service to stop responding. (CVE-2016-0044)
- A security feature bypass vulnerability exists when Kerberos fails to check the password change of a user signing into a workstation. An attacker can exploit this, by connecting the workstation to a malicious Kerberos Key distribution Center, to bypass Kerberos authentication on a target machine, thus allowing decryption of drives protected by BitLocker. (CVE-2016-0049)
Solution
Microsoft has released a set of patches for Windows Vista, 2008, 7, 2008 R2, 2012, 8.1, RT 8.1, 2012 R2, and 10.

How to Run
Here is how to run the MS16-014: Security Update for Microsoft Windows to Address Remote Code Execution (3134228) as a standalone plugin via the Nessus web user interface (https://localhost:8834/):
- Click to start a New Scan.
- Select Advanced Scan.
- Navigate to the Plugins tab.
- On the top right corner click to Disable All plugins.
- On the left side table select Windows : Microsoft Bulletins plugin family.
- On the right side table select MS16-014: Security Update for Microsoft Windows to Address Remote Code Execution (3134228) plugin ID 88646.
- Specify the target on the Settings tab and click to Save the scan.
- Run the scan.
Here are a few examples of how to run the plugin in the command line. Note that the examples below demonstrate the usage on the Linux / Unix platform.
Basic usage:
/opt/nessus/bin/nasl smb_nt_ms16-014.nasl -t <IP/HOST>
Run the plugin with audit trail message on the console:
/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -a smb_nt_ms16-014.nasl -t <IP/HOST>
Run the plugin with trace script execution written to the console (useful for debugging):
/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -T - smb_nt_ms16-014.nasl -t <IP/HOST>
Run the plugin with using a state file for the target and updating it (useful for running multiple plugins on the target):
/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -K /tmp/state smb_nt_ms16-014.nasl -t <IP/HOST>
Go back to menu.
