The remote Windows host is missing security update 4038786 or cumulative update 4038799. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A race condition that could lead to a remote code     execution vulnerability exists in NetBT Session Services     when NetBT fails to maintain certain sequencing     requirements. (CVE-2017-0161)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in     Windows when the Windows kernel-mode driver fails to     properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who     successfully exploited this vulnerability could run     arbitrary code in kernel mode. An attacker could then     install programs; view, change, or delete data; or     create new accounts with full user rights.
    (CVE-2017-8675)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the     way that the Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI)     handles objects in memory, allowing an attacker to     retrieve information from a targeted system. By itself,     the information disclosure does not allow arbitrary code     execution; however, it could allow arbitrary code to be     run if the attacker uses it in combination with another     vulnerability. (CVE-2017-8676)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when the     Windows font library improperly handles specially     crafted embedded fonts. An attacker who successfully     exploited this vulnerability could take control of the     affected system. An attacker could then install     programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new     accounts with full user rights. (CVE-2017-8682)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the     Microsoft Windows Graphics Component improperly handles     objects in memory. An attacker who successfully     exploited the vulnerability could obtain information to     further compromise the users system. (CVE-2017-8683)

  - A information disclosure vulnerability exists when the     Windows GDI+ component improperly discloses kernel     memory addresses. An attacker who successfully exploited     the vulnerability could obtain information to further     compromise the users system.     (CVE-2017-8677, CVE-2017-8680, CVE-2017-8681,     CVE-2017-8684)

  - A memory corruption vulnerability exists in the Windows     Server DHCP service when an attacker sends specially     crafted packets to a DHCP failover server. An attacker     who successfully exploited the vulnerability could     either run arbitrary code on the DHCP failover server or     cause the DHCP service to become nonresponsive. To     exploit the vulnerability, an attacker could send a     specially crafted packet to a DHCP server. However, the     DHCP server must be set to failover mode for the attack     to succeed. The security update addresses the     vulnerability by correcting how DHCP failover servers     handle network packets. (CVE-2017-8686)

  - An Information disclosure vulnerability exists in     Windows kernel that could allow an attacker to retrieve     information that could lead to a Kernel Address Space     Layout Randomization (KASLR) bypass. An attacker who     successfully exploited this vulnerability could retrieve     the memory address of a kernel object. (CVE-2017-8687)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the     way that the Windows Graphics Device Interface+ (GDI+)     handles objects in memory, allowing an attacker to     retrieve information from a targeted system. By itself,     the information disclosure does not allow arbitrary code     execution; however, it could allow arbitrary code to be     run if the attacker uses it in combination with another     vulnerability. (CVE-2017-8688)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists due to the     way Windows Uniscribe handles objects in memory. An     attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability     could take control of the affected system. An attacker     could then install programs; view, change, or delete     data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
    (CVE-2017-8692)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when     Windows Uniscribe 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.
    The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how     Windows Uniscribe handles objects in memory.
    (CVE-2017-8695)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when     Windows Shell does not properly validate file copy     destinations. An attacker who successfully exploited the     vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the context of     the current user.
    (CVE-2017-8699)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the     Windows kernel fails to properly initialize a memory     address, allowing an attacker to retrieve information     that could lead to a Kernel Address Space Layout     Randomization (KASLR) bypass. An attacker who     successfully exploited this vulnerability could retrieve     the base address of the kernel driver from a compromised     process. (CVE-2017-8708)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when     Windows Hyper-V on a host operating system fails to     properly validate input from an authenticated user on a     guest operating system. (CVE-2017-8713)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the VM     Host Agent Service of Remote Desktop Virtual Host role     when it fails to properly validate input from an     authenticated user on a guest operating system. To     exploit the vulnerability, an attacker could issue a     specially crafted certificate on the guest operating     system that could cause the VM host agent service on the     host operating system to execute arbitrary code. The     Remote Desktop Virtual Host role is not enabled by     default. An attacker who successfully exploited the     vulnerability could execute arbitrary code on the host     operating system. The security update addresses the     vulnerability by correcting how VM host agent service     validates guest operating system user input.
    (CVE-2017-8714)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the     Windows kernel improperly handles objects in memory. An     attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability     could obtain information to further compromise the users     system.

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in     Windows when the Win32k component fails to properly     handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully     exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in     kernel mode. An attacker could then install programs;
    view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts     with full user rights. (CVE-2017-8720)

  - A spoofing vulnerability exists when Internet Explorer     improperly handles specific HTML content. An attacker     who successfully exploited this vulnerability could     trick a user into believing that the user was visiting a     legitimate website. The specially crafted website could     either spoof content or serve as a pivot to chain an     attack with other vulnerabilities in web services. To     exploit the vulnerability, the user must either browse     to a malicious website or be redirected to it. In an     email attack scenario, an attacker could send an email     message in an attempt to convince the user to click a     link to the malicious website. (CVE-2017-8733)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when     Microsoft Windows PDF Library improperly handles objects     in memory. The vulnerability could corrupt memory in a     way that enables an attacker to execute arbitrary code     in the context of the current user. An attacker who     successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain the     same user rights as the current user.     (CVE-2017-8728, CVE-2017-8737)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way     that Microsoft browser JavaScript engines render content     when handling objects in memory.
