The remote Windows host is missing security update 4074597 or cumulative update 4074594. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way     that the scripting engine handles objects in memory in     Internet Explorer. The vulnerability could corrupt     memory in such a way that an attacker could 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-2018-0866)

  - 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.  (CVE-2018-0757, CVE-2018-0829, CVE-2018-0830)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when     VBScript improperly discloses the contents of its     memory, which could provide an attacker with information     to further compromise the users computer or data.
    (CVE-2018-0847)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in     StructuredQuery when the software fails to properly     handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully     exploited the vulnerability could run arbitrary code in     the context of the current user. If the current user is     logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker     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-2018-0825)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the     way that the Windows Kernel handles objects in memory.
    An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability     could execute code with elevated permissions.
    (CVE-2018-0742, CVE-2018-0820)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in     implementations of the Microsoft Server Message Block     2.0 and 3.0 (SMBv2/SMBv3) client. The vulnerability is     due to improper handling of certain requests sent by a     malicious SMB server to the client. An attacker who     successfully exploited this vulnerability could cause     the affected system to stop responding until it is     manually restarted.  (CVE-2018-0833)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when     Windows improperly handles objects in memory. An     attacker who successfully exploited these     vulnerabilities could take control of an affected     system.  (CVE-2018-0842)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the     Windows Common Log File System (CLFS) driver improperly     handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully     exploited this vulnerability could run processes in an     elevated context.  (CVE-2018-0844, CVE-2018-0846)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the     Windows kernel that could allow an attacker to retrieve     information that could lead to a Kernel Address Space     Layout Randomization (ASLR) bypass. An attacker who     successfully exploited the vulnerability could retrieve     the memory address of a kernel object.  (CVE-2018-0832)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way     the scripting engine handles objects in memory in     Microsoft browsers. The vulnerability could corrupt     memory in such a way that an attacker could 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.
