The remote Windows host is missing a security update.

A local attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted application, to run arbitrary code in kernel mode.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.See Also
