The Windows kernel in Windows 10 versions 1607, 1703 and 1709, Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server, version 1709 allows an elevation of privilege vulnerability due to how objects in memory are handled, aka "Windows Kernel Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability".

The remote Windows host is missing security update 4074592.
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An vulnerability exists within microprocessors utilizing     speculative execution and indirect branch prediction,     which may allow an attacker with local user access to     disclose information via a side-channel analysis.
    (CVE-2017-5715, CVE-2017-5753, CVE-2017-5754)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way     that the scripting engine handles objects in memory in     Internet Explorer. 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-2018-0866)

  - A security feature bypass vulnerability exists in     Windows Scripting Host which could allow an attacker to     bypass Device Guard. An attacker who successfully     exploited this vulnerability could circumvent a User     Mode Code Integrity (UMCI) policy on the machine.
    (CVE-2018-0827)
