critical Nessus Plugin ID 93964

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Windows host has a browser plugin installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote Windows host is missing KB3194343. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - A type confusion error exists that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-6992)

 - Multiple use-after-free errors exist that allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-6981, CVE-2016-6987)

 - An unspecified security bypass vulnerability exists that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass security restrictions. (CVE-2016-4286)

 - Multiple memory corruption issues exist that allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-4273, CVE-2016-6982, CVE-2016-6983, CVE-2016-6984, CVE-2016-6985, CVE-2016-6986, CVE-2016-6989, CVE-2016-6990) Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

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