Synopsis
The remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
The remote Windows host is missing security update 4467708.It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
- A security feature bypass vulnerability exists in Microsoft JScript that could allow an attacker to bypass Device Guard. (CVE-2018-8417)
- 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-2018-8552)
- An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when DirectX improperly handles 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-2018-8485, CVE-2018-8554, CVE-2018-8561)
- A remote code execution vulnerability exists when PowerShell improperly handles specially crafted files.
An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could execute malicious code on a vulnerable system. (CVE-2018-8256)
- A security feature bypass exists when Windows incorrectly validates kernel driver signatures. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could bypass security features and load improperly signed drivers into the kernel. In an attack scenario, an attacker could bypass security features intended to prevent improperly signed drivers from being loaded by the kernel. The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Windows validates kernel driver signatures. (CVE-2018-8549)
- An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the way that Microsoft Edge handles cross-origin requests.
An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could determine the origin of all webpages in the affected browser. (CVE-2018-8545)
- A tampering vulnerability exists in PowerShell that could allow an attacker to execute unlogged code.
(CVE-2018-8415)
- A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that Windows Deployment Services TFTP Server handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could execute arbitrary code with elevated permissions on a target system.
(CVE-2018-8476)
- An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Windows 10 version 1809 when installed from physical media (USB, DVD, etc.) with the keep nothing option selected during installation. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability could allow an attacker to gain local access to an affected system. (CVE-2018-8592)
- A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the VBScript engine handles objects in memory. 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-2018-8544)
- An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Windows improperly handles calls to Advanced Local Procedure Call (ALPC). An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the security context of the local system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
(CVE-2018-8584)
- An elevation of privilege exists in Windows COM Aggregate Marshaler. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could run arbitrary code with elevated privileges. (CVE-2018-8550)
- An information disclosure vulnerability exists when Windows Audio Service fails to properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could potentially disclose memory contents of a elevated process. (CVE-2018-8454)
- A spoofing vulnerability exists when Microsoft Edge improperly handles specific HTML content. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could trick a user into believing that the user was on 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.
(CVE-2018-8564)
- A cross-site-scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists when an open source customization for Microsoft Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) does not properly sanitize a specially crafted web request to an affected AD FS server. An authenticated attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending a specially crafted request to an affected AD FS server. The attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could then perform cross-site scripting attacks on affected systems and run scripts in the security context of the current user. The attacks could allow the attacker to read content that the attacker is not authorized to read, use the victim's identity to take actions on the AD FS site on behalf of the user, such as change permissions and delete content, and inject malicious content in the browser of the user. The security update addresses the vulnerability by helping to ensure that the open source customization for AD FS properly sanitizes web requests.
(CVE-2018-8547)
- 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-2018-8562)
- An information disclosure vulnerability exists when "Kernel Remote Procedure Call Provider" driver improperly initializes objects in memory.
(CVE-2018-8407)
- An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the way that the Microsoft RemoteFX Virtual GPU miniport driver handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could execute code with elevated permissions. (CVE-2018-8471)
- A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the Chakra scripting engine handles objects in memory in Microsoft Edge. 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-2018-8541, CVE-2018-8542, CVE-2018-8543, CVE-2018-8551, CVE-2018-8555, CVE-2018-8556, CVE-2018-8557, CVE-2018-8588)
- An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Microsoft Edge does not properly enforce cross-domain policies, which could allow an attacker to access information from one domain and inject it into another domain. (CVE-2018-8567)
