Language:

Synopsis

The remote host has an web browser installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Microsoft Edge (Chromium) installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 81.0.416.72. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- A buffer overflow could occur when parsing and validating SCTP chunks in WebRTC. This could have led to memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2020-6831)

- Type confusion in Blink in Microsoft Edge (Chromium) allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (CVE-2020-6464)

Solution

Upgrade to Microsoft Edge (Chromium) 81.0.416.72 or later.
