An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the Windows kernel improperly handles objects in memory, aka "Windows Kernel Information Disclosure Vulnerability." This affects Windows 7, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows RT 8.1, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2012, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2008 R2. This CVE ID is unique from CVE-2018-8477, CVE-2018-8621.

The remote Windows host is missing security update 4471326 or cumulative update 4471330. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - 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-2018-8540)

  - 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.
