Synopsis
The remote Windows host has a browser plugin installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.
Description
The remote Windows host is missing KB3214628. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
- Multiple memory corruption issues exist that allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-2925, CVE-2017-2926, CVE-2017-2928, CVE-2017-2930, CVE-2017-2931)
- Multiple heap buffer overflow conditions exist that allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-2927, CVE-2017-2933, CVE-2017-2934, CVE-2017-2935)
- Multiple use-after-free errors exist that allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-2932, CVE-2017-2936, CVE-2017-2937)
- A security bypass vulnerability exists that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2017-2938)
Solution
Microsoft has released a set of patches for Windows 2012, 8.1, RT 8.1, 2012 R2, 10, and 2016.
