Synopsis
The remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
The remote Windows host is missing security update 4577015.It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
- 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-2020-1053, CVE-2020-1308)
- An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Windows RSoP Service Application improperly handles memory. (CVE-2020-0648)

An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take control of the affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. (CVE-2020-1285)
- An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the Windows GDI component 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.
