- CVEs with nessus.description==The remote Windows host is missing security updates. It is,
therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
- Errors exist related to microprocessors utilizing
speculative execution and L1 data cache that could
allow information disclosure. (CVE-2018-3615,
CVE-2018-3620, CVE-2018-3646)
- A remote code execution vulnerability exists when the
Windows font library improperly handles specially
crafted embedded fonts. An attacker who successfully
exploited the vulnerability could take control of the
affected system. An attacker could then install
programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new
accounts with full user rights. (CVE-2018-8344)
- A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way
the scripting engine handles objects in memory in
Microsoft browsers. The vulnerability could corrupt
memory in such a way that an attacker could execute
arbitrary code in the context of the current user. An
attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability
could gain the same user rights as the current user.
(CVE-2018-8385)
- A remote code execution vulnerability exists in
Microsoft Windows that could allow remote code execution
if a .LNK file is processed. An attacker who
successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the
same user rights as the local user. (CVE-2018-8345,
CVE-2018-8346)
- An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the
Windows GDI component improperly discloses the contents
of its memory. An attacker who successfully exploited
the vulnerability could obtain information to further
compromise the users system. There are multiple ways an
attacker could exploit the vulnerability, such as by
convincing a user to open a specially crafted document,
or by convincing a user to visit an untrusted webpage.
The security update addresses the vulnerability by
correcting how the Windows GDI component handles objects
in memory. (CVE-2018-8394, CVE-2018-8396, CVE-2018-8398)
- A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way
that the Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI) handles
objects in the memory. An attacker who successfully
exploited this vulnerability could take control of the
affected system. An attacker could then install
programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new
accounts with full user rights. (CVE-2018-8397)
- A remote code execution vulnerability exists in
'Microsoft COM for Windows' when it fails to
properly handle serialized objects. An attacker who
successfully exploited the vulnerability could use a
specially crafted file or script to perform actions. In
an email attack scenario, an attacker could exploit the
vulnerability by sending the specially crafted file to
the user and convincing the user to open the file.
(CVE-2018-8349)
- An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the
Windows Installer when the Windows Installer fails to
properly sanitize input leading to an insecure library
loading behavior. A locally authenticated attacker could
run arbitrary code with elevated system privileges. An
attacker could then install programs; view, change, or
delete data; or create new accounts with full user
rights. The security update addresses the vulnerability
by correcting the input sanitization error to preclude
unintended elevation. (CVE-2018-8339)
- An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the
Windows kernel improperly handles objects in memory. An
attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability
could obtain information to further compromise the users
system. (CVE-2018-8348)
