The remote Windows host is missing security update 4471329.
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when the     Microsoft .NET Framework fails to validate input     properly. An attacker who successfully exploited this     vulnerability could take control of an affected system.
    An attacker could then install programs; view, change,     or delete data; or create new accounts with full user     rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have     fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted     than users who operate with administrative user rights.
    (CVE-2018-8540)

  - A Denial Of Service vulnerability exists when Connected     User Experiences and Telemetry Service fails to validate     certain function values. An attacker who successfully     exploited this vulnerability could deny dependent     security feature functionality.  (CVE-2018-8612)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the     Windows GDI component 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 security update addresses the vulnerability by     correcting how the Windows GDI component handles objects     in memory. (CVE-2018-8595, CVE-2018-8596)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Windows     where Microsoft text-to-speech fails to properly handle     objects in the 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-2018-8634)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists when .NET     Framework improperly handles special web requests. An     attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability     could cause a denial of service against an .NET     Framework web application. The vulnerability can be     exploited remotely, without authentication. A remote     unauthenticated attacker could exploit this     vulnerability by issuing specially crafted requests to     the .NET Framework application. The update addresses the     vulnerability by correcting how the .NET Framework web     application handles web requests. (CVE-2018-8517)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the     Diagnostics Hub Standard Collector Service improperly     impersonates certain file operations. An attacker who     successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain     elevated privileges. An attacker with unprivileged     access to a vulnerable system could exploit this     vulnerability. The security update addresses the     vulnerability by ensuring the Diagnostics Hub Standard     Collector Service properly impersonates file operations.
    (CVE-2018-8599)

  - 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-2018-8477)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when     Remote Procedure Call runtime improperly initializes     objects in memory.  (CVE-2018-8514)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the     Windows kernel 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-2018-8611)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Windows     Domain Name System (DNS) servers when they fail to     properly handle requests. An attacker who successfully     exploited the vulnerability could run arbitrary code in     the context of the Local System Account. Windows servers     that are configured as DNS servers are at risk from this     vulnerability.  (CVE-2018-8626)

  - 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-2018-8641)

  - 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-2018-8639)
