Synopsis

The remote Windows host is affected multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote Windows host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- A security feature bypass vulnerability exists in Device Guard due to improper validation of certain elements in a signed PowerShell script. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to modify the contents of a PowerShell script without invalidating the signature associated with the file, allowing the execution of a malicious script. (CVE-2017-0007)

- A denial of service vulnerability exists in the Microsoft Server Message Block 2.0 and 3.0 (SMBv2/SMBv3) client implementations due to improper handling of certain requests sent to the client. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue, via a malicious SMB server, to cause the system to stop responding until it is manually restarted. (CVE-2017-0016)

- A remote code execution vulnerability exists due to using an insecure path to load certain dynamic link library (DLL) files. A local attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted library placed in the path, to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-0039)

- An information disclosure vulnerability exists in Windows dnsclient due to improper handling of certain requests. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted web page, to gain access to sensitive information on a targeted workstation. If the target is a server, the attacker can also exploit this issue by tricking the server into sending a DNS query to a malicious DNS server. (CVE-2017-0057)

- An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Helppane.exe due to a failure by an unspecified DCOM object, configured to run as the interactive user, to properly authenticate the client. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted application, to execute arbitrary code in another user's session. (CVE-2017-0100)

- An integer overflow condition exists in the iSNS Server service due to improper validation of input from the client. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue, via a specially crafted application that connects and issues requests to the iSNS server, to execute arbitrary code in the context of the SYSTEM account. (CVE-2017-0104)

Solution

Microsoft has released a set of patches for Windows Vista, 2008, 7, 2008 R2, 2012, 8.1, RT 8.1, 2012 R2, 10, and 2016.

How to Run

Here is how to run the MS17-012: Security Update for Microsoft Windows (4013078) 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 MS17-012: Security Update for Microsoft Windows (4013078) plugin ID 97743.
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_ms17-012.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with audit trail message on the console:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -a smb_nt_ms17-012.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_ms17-012.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_ms17-012.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Go back to menu.
