PowerShell Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

An update of the powershell package has been released.

The remote Windows host is missing security update 5012591.
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability. An attacker can     exploit this to gain elevated privileges.
