Windows Media Center Update Denial of Service Vulnerability

The remote Windows host is missing security update 5011535 or cumulative update 5011527. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability. An attacker can     exploit this to gain elevated privileges.
    (CVE-2022-23290, CVE-2022-23284, CVE-2022-24459,     CVE-2022-23299, CVE-2022-23298, CVE-2022-24455,     CVE-2022-24454, CVE-2022-23283, CVE-2022-23296,     CVE-2022-23293)

  - A security feature bypass vulnerability exists. An     attacker can exploit this and bypass the security     feature and perform unauthorized actions compromising     the integrity of the system/application.
    (CVE-2022-24502)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability. An attacker can     exploit this to bypass authentication and execute     unauthorized arbitrary commands. (CVE-2022-23285     CVE-2022-23294, CVE-2022-21990)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability. An attacker can     exploit this to disclose potentially sensitive     information. (CVE-2022-24503, CVE-2022-22010, CVE-2022-23297,     CVE-2022-23281)

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

    (CVE-2022-24502)

  - A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability. An attacker can     exploit this issue to cause the affected component to     deny system or application services. (CVE-2022-21973,     CVE-2022-21975, CVE-2022-23253)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability. An attacker can     exploit this to bypass authentication and execute     unauthorized arbitrary commands. (CVE-2022-21990,     CVE-2022-23285, CVE-2022-23294)
