high Nessus Plugin ID 92021

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote Windows host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - Multiple elevation of privilege vulnerabilities exist in the kernel-mode driver due to improper handling of objects in memory. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit these, via a specially crafted application, to run arbitrary code in kernel mode. (CVE-2016-3249, CVE-2016-3250, CVE-2016-3252, CVE-2016-3254, CVE-2016-3286)

 - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the Windows GDI component due improper handling of objects in memory. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted application, to disclose kernel memory addresses. (CVE-2016-3251)

Solution

Microsoft has released a set of patches for Windows Vista, 2008, 7, 2008 R2, 2012, 8.1, 2012 R2, and 10.
