The remote Windows host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :- An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the Windows kernel that allows a local attacker, via a specially crafted application, to bypass the Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) feature and retrieve the memory address of a kernel object. (CVE-2016-7214)
- Multiple elevation of privilege vulnerabilities exist in the Windows kernel-mode driver due to improper handling of objects in memory. A local attacker can exploit these, via a specially crafted application, to execute arbitrary code in kernel mode. (CVE-2016-7215, CVE-2016-7246, CVE-2016-7255)
- An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the bowser.sys kernel-mode driver due to improper handling objects in memory. A local attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted application, to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2016-7218)
