The remote Windows host is missing security update 4516068.
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in     Windows Text Service Framework (TSF) when the TSF server     process does not validate the source of input or     commands it receives. An attacker who successfully     exploited this vulnerability could inject commands or     read input sent through a malicious Input Method Editor     (IME). This only affects systems that have installed an     IME.  (CVE-2019-1235)

  - An information disclosure exists in the Windows Common     Log File System (CLFS) driver when it fails to properly     handle sandbox checks. An attacker who successfully     exploited this vulnerability could potentially read data     outside their expected limits.  (CVE-2019-1282)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the     Windows kernel fails to properly initialize a memory     address. An attacker who successfully exploited this     vulnerability could obtain information to further     compromise the users system.  (CVE-2019-1274)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when     Windows Hyper-V writes uninitialized memory to disk. An     attacker could exploit the vulnerability by reading a     file to recover kernel memory.  (CVE-2019-1254)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the     Windows Update Delivery Optimization does not properly     enforce file share permissions. An attacker who     successfully exploited the vulnerability could overwrite     files that require higher privileges than what the     attacker already has.  (CVE-2019-1289)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the     .NET Framework common language runtime (CLR) allows file     creation in arbitrary locations. An attacker who     successfully exploited this vulnerability could write     files to folders that require higher privileges than     what the attacker already has.  (CVE-2019-1142)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when the     Windows Jet Database Engine improperly handles objects     in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this     vulnerability could execute arbitrary code on a victim     system. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by     enticing a victim to open a specially crafted file. The     update addresses the vulnerability by correcting the way     the Windows Jet Database Engine handles objects in     memory.
