critical Nessus Plugin ID 100785

Synopsis

The remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote Windows Vista host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft Internet Explorer due to improper handling of objects in memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website, to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. (CVE-2017-0222)

- Multiple information disclosure vulnerabilities exist in the Microsoft Server Message Block 1.0 (SMBv1) server when handling certain requests. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these, via a specially crafted packet, to disclose sensitive information.
(CVE-2017-0267, CVE-2017-0268, CVE-2017-0270, CVE-2017-0271, CVE-2017-0274, CVE-2017-0275, CVE-2017-0276)

- Multiple denial of service vulnerabilities exist in Microsoft Server Message Block (SMB) when handling a specially crafted request to the server. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these, via a crafted SMB request, to cause the system to stop responding. (CVE-2017-0269, CVE-2017-0273, CVE-2017-0280)

- Multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities exist in the Microsoft Server Message Block 1.0 (SMBv1) server when handling certain requests. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these, via a specially crafted packet, to execute arbitrary code on a target server. (CVE-2017-0272, CVE-2017-0277, CVE-2017-0278, CVE-2017-0279)

- A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Windows due to improper handling of shortcuts. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to insert a removable drive containing a malicious shortcut and binary, to automatically execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. (CVE-2017-8464)

- A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the Windows Search functionality due to improper handling of objects in memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted SMB message, to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-8543)

- An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the GDI component due to improper handling of objects in memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to open a specially crafted document or visit a specially crafted website, to disclose the contents of memory. (CVE-2017-8552)
