Windows DNS Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

The remote Windows host is missing security update 5005618 or cumulative update 5005606. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An memory corruption vulnerability exists. An attacker     can exploit this to corrupt the memory and cause     unexpected behaviors within the system/application.
    (CVE-2021-26435)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability. An attacker can     exploit this to disclose potentially sensitive     information. (CVE-2021-36962, CVE-2021-38629,     CVE-2021-38635, CVE-2021-38636)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability. An attacker can     exploit this to gain elevated privileges.
    (CVE-2021-36955, CVE-2021-36963, CVE-2021-36964,     CVE-2021-36968, CVE-2021-38625, CVE-2021-38626,     CVE-2021-38628, CVE-2021-38633, CVE-2021-38638,     CVE-2021-38639, CVE-2021-38667, CVE-2021-38671,     CVE-2021-40447)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability. An attacker can     exploit this to bypass authentication and execute     unauthorized arbitrary commands. (CVE-2021-36965)

  - A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability. An attacker can     exploit this issue to cause the affected component to     deny system or application services. (CVE-2021-36961)

  - A session spoofing vulnerability exists. An attacker can     exploit this to perform actions with the privileges of     another user. (CVE-2021-36959)
