The remote Windows host is missing security update 4537813 or cumulative update 4537820. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the     Windows Remote Desktop Client when a user connects to a     malicious server. An attacker who successfully exploited     this vulnerability could execute arbitrary code on the     computer of the connecting client. An attacker could     then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or     create new accounts with full user rights.
    (CVE-2020-0681, CVE-2020-0734)

  - A memory corruption vulnerability exists when Windows     Media Foundation improperly handles objects in memory.
    An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability     could install programs; view, change, or delete data; or     create new accounts with full user rights. 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 a malicious webpage. The security update addresses     the vulnerability by correcting how Windows Media     Foundation handles objects in memory. (CVE-2020-0738)
