A security feature bypass vulnerability exists when Microsoft .NET Framework components do not correctly validate certificates, aka ".NET Framework Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability." This affects .NET Framework 4.7.2, Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.2/4.7/4.7.1/4.7.2, ASP.NET Core 1.1, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2, ASP.NET Core 2.0, ASP.NET Core 1.0, .NET Core 1.1, Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5, Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6/4.6.1/4.6.2, .NET Core 1.0, .NET Core 2.0, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6/4.6.1/4.6.2/4.7/4.7.1/4.7.1/4.7.2, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2.

The Microsoft ASP.NET Core installations on the remote host are missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerability :

  - A security feature bypass vulnerability exists when Microsoft   .NET Framework components do not correctly validate certificates.
  An attacker could present expired certificates when challenged. The   security update addresses the vulnerability by ensuring that .NET   Framework components correctly validate certificates. (CVE-2018-8356)

This plugin has been deprecated due to Microsoft removing downloads to related KBs.  These were removed due to Access Denied errors which have been resolved in later cumulative patches.

The remote Windows host is missing security update 4338820 or cumulative update 4338830. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in Windows     Domain Name System (DNS) DNSAPI.dll when it fails to     properly handle DNS responses. An attacker who     successfully exploited the vulnerability could cause a     system to stop responding. Note that the denial of     service condition would not allow an attacker to execute     code or to elevate user privileges. However, the denial     of service condition could prevent authorized users from     using system resources.  (CVE-2018-8304)

  - 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-2018-8287)

    (CVE-2018-8282)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists when Windows     improperly handles File Transfer Protocol (FTP)     connections. An attacker who successfully exploited the     vulnerability could cause a target system to stop     responding.  (CVE-2018-8206)

  - A security feature bypass vulnerability exists when     Microsoft Internet Explorer improperly handles requests     involving UNC resources. An attacker who successfully     exploited the vulnerability could force the browser to     load data that would otherwise be restricted.
    (CVE-2018-0949)

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

  - A security feature bypass vulnerability exists when     Microsoft WordPad improperly handles embedded OLE     objects. An attacker who successfully exploited the     vulnerability could bypass content blocking. In a file-     sharing attack scenario, an attacker could provide a     specially crafted document file designed to exploit the     vulnerability, and then convince a user to open the     document file. The security update addresses the     vulnerability by correcting how Microsoft WordPad     handles input. (CVE-2018-8307)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in .NET     Framework which could allow an attacker to elevate their     privilege level.  (CVE-2018-8202)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the     way that the Windows Kernel API enforces permissions. An     attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability     could impersonate processes, interject cross-process     communication, or interrupt system functionality.
    (CVE-2018-8313)

  - A Remote Code Execution vulnerability exists in .NET     software when the software fails to check the source     markup of a file. An attacker who successfully exploited     the vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the     context of the current user. If the current user is     logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker     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-2018-8260)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when the     Microsoft .NET Framework fails to validate input     properly. An attacker who successfully exploited this     vulnerability could take control of an affected system.
    An attacker could then install programs; view, change,     or delete data; or create new accounts with full user     rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have     fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted     than users who operate with administrative user rights.
    (CVE-2018-8284)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when     Windows fails a check, allowing a sandbox escape. An     attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability     could use the sandbox escape to elevate privileges on an     affected system. This vulnerability by itself does not     allow arbitrary code execution. However, the     vulnerability could allow arbitrary code to run if an     attacker uses it in combination with another     vulnerability, such as a remote code execution     vulnerability or another elevation of privilege     vulnerability, that can leverage the elevated privileges     when code execution is attempted. The security update     addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Windows     file picker handles paths. (CVE-2018-8314)
