The remote Windows host is missing security update 4571746 or cumulative update 4571730. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when     Windows Media Audio Codec improperly handles objects. An     attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability     could take control of an affected 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 a malicious webpage. The security update addresses     the vulnerability by correcting how Windows Media Audio     Codec handles objects. (CVE-2020-1339)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way     that the scripting engine handles objects in memory in     Internet Explorer.

An     attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability     could gain the same user rights as the current user.
    (CVE-2020-1570)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when     DirectWrite 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 DirectWrite handles objects in memory.

    (CVE-2020-1519, CVE-2020-1538)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the     way that the srmsvc.dll handles objects in memory. An     attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability     could execute code with elevated permissions.
    (CVE-2020-1475)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the     Windows File Server Resource Management Service     improperly handles memory.  (CVE-2020-1517,     CVE-2020-1518)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the     Windows Telephony Server improperly handles memory.
    (CVE-2020-1515)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the     Windows Remote Access improperly handles file     operations. An attacker who successfully exploited this     vulnerability could gain elevated privileges.
    (CVE-2020-1537)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the     Windows Kernel API improperly handles registry objects     in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the     vulnerability could gain elevated privileges on a     targeted system. A locally authenticated attacker could     exploit this vulnerability by running a specially     crafted application. The security update addresses the     vulnerability by helping to ensure that the Windows     Kernel API properly handles objects in memory.
    (CVE-2020-1377, CVE-2020-1378)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the     Windows Print Spooler service improperly allows     arbitrary writing to the file system. An attacker who     successfully exploited this vulnerability could run     arbitrary code with elevated system privileges. An     attacker could then install programs; view, change, or     delete data; or create new accounts with full user     rights.  (CVE-2020-1337)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the     Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) Service improperly     discloses contents of its memory. An attacker who     successfully exploited the vulnerability could obtain     information to further compromise the users system.
    (CVE-2020-1474, CVE-2020-1485)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the     Windows Ancillary Function Driver for WinSock improperly     handles memory.  (CVE-2020-1587)

  - 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. (CVE-2020-1473, CVE-2020-1557, CVE-2020-1558,     CVE-2020-1564)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when     Microsoft .NET Framework processes input. An attacker     who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take     control of an affected system.  (CVE-2020-1046)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way     that the MSHTML engine improperly validates input. An     attacker could execute arbitrary code in the context of     the current user.  (CVE-2020-1567)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the     way that the Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI)     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-2020-1529)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the     Windows Function Discovery SSDP Provider improperly     handles memory.  (CVE-2020-1579)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when     ASP.NET or .NET web applications running on IIS     improperly allow access to cached files. An attacker who     successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain     access to restricted files.  (CVE-2020-1476)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way     that Microsoft Graphics Components handle objects in     memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the     vulnerability could execute arbitrary code on a target     system.  (CVE-2020-1562)

  - A spoofing vulnerability exists when Windows incorrectly     validates file signatures. An attacker who successfully     exploited this vulnerability could bypass security     features and load improperly signed files. In an attack     scenario, an attacker could bypass security features     intended to prevent improperly signed files from being     loaded. The update addresses the vulnerability by     correcting how Windows validates file signatures.
