The CryptProtectMemory function in cng.sys (aka the Cryptography Next Generation driver) in the kernel-mode drivers in Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP2, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2, and Windows RT Gold and 8.1, when the CRYPTPROTECTMEMORY_SAME_LOGON option is used, does not check an impersonation token's level, which allows local users to bypass intended decryption restrictions by leveraging a service that (1) has a named-pipe planting vulnerability or (2) uses world-readable shared memory for encrypted data, aka "CNG Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability" or MSRC ID 20707.

The version of python38 installed on the remote host is prior to 3.8.5-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2PYTHON3.8-2023-009 advisory.

(CVE-2015-0010)

    In Python3's Lib/test/multibytecodec_support.py CJK codec tests call eval() on content retrieved via HTTP.
    (CVE-2020-27619)

    A flaw was found in python-ipaddress. Improper input validation of octal strings in stdlib ipaddress     allows unauthenticated remote attackers to perform indeterminate SSRF, RFI, and LFI attacks on many     programs that rely on Python stdlib ipaddress. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data     integrity and system availability. (CVE-2021-29921)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Windows host is missing a security patch. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the     Windows kernel-mode driver that is caused by improperly     handling objects in memory. (CVE-2015-0003,     CVE-2015-0057)

  - A security feature bypass vulnerability exists in the     Cryptography Next Generation kernel-mode driver when     failing to properly validate and enforce impersonation     levels. (CVE-2015-0010)

  - A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the     Windows kernel-mode driver due to a double-free     condition. (CVE-2015-0058)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the     Windows kernel-mode driver that is caused when     improperly handling TrueType fonts. (CVE-2015-0059)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the     Windows kernel-mode driver that is caused when the     Windows font mapper attempts to scale a font.
