high Nessus Plugin ID 91012
Language:
Synopsis
The remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
The remote Windows host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :- Multiple privilege escalation vulnerabilities exist in the Windows kernel-mode driver due to a failure to properly handle objects in memory. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted application, to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0171, CVE-2016-0173, CVE-2016-0174, CVE-2016-0196)
- A security feature bypass vulnerability exists in the Windows kernel. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted application, to bypass the Kernel Address Space Layout Randomization (KASLR) feature and retrieve the memory address of a kernel object. (CVE-2016-0175)
- A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the DirectX Graphics kernel subsystem due to a failure to properly handle objects in memory. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted application, to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0176)
- A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the DirectX Graphics kernel subsystem due to a failure to correctly map kernel memory and to handle objects in memory. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted application, to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0197)
