Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 April 2017 Security Updates

high Nessus Plugin ID 99312

Synopsis

The remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote Windows host is missing security update 4015547 or cumulative update 4015550. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the open-source libjpeg image processing library due to improper handling of objects in memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to disclose sensitive information that can be utilized to bypass ASLR security protections. (CVE-2013-6629)

- Multiple information disclosure vulnerabilities exist in the win32k component due to improper handling of kernel information. A local attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities, via a specially crafted application, to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2017-0058, CVE-2017-0188)

- A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the Microsoft Graphics Component due to improper handling of objects in memory. A local attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted application, to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges. (CVE-2017-0156)

- A flaw exists in the VBScript engine due to improper handling of objects in memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to visit a malicious website or open a specially crafted document file, to execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2017-0158)

- A security feature bypass vulnerability exists in ADFS due to incorrectly treating requests from Extranet clients as Intranet requests. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to bypass account lockout protection mechanisms and more easily gain access to a user's account via a brute-force attack. (CVE-2017-0159)

- Multiple flaws exist in Windows Hyper-V Network Switch due to improper validation of input from the guest operating system. A local attacker can exploit these, via a specially crafted application on the guest, to execute arbitrary code on the host system.
(CVE-2017-0162, CVE-2017-0163, CVE-2017-0180)

- A privilege escalation vulnerability exists due to improper sanitization of handles stored in memory. A local attacker can exploit this to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2017-0165)

- A flaw exists in LDAP due to buffer request lengths not being properly calculated. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted traffic sent to a Domain Controller, to run processes with elevated privileges. (CVE-2017-0166)

- A flaw exists in the Windows kernel due to improper handling of objects in memory. A local attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted application, to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2017-0167)

- Multiple information disclosure vulnerabilities exist in Windows Hyper-V Network Switch due to improper validation of user-supplied input. A guest attacker can exploit these to disclose sensitive information on the host server. (CVE-2017-0168, CVE-2017-0169)

- Multiple denial of service vulnerabilities exist in Hyper-V due to improper validation of input from a privileged user on a guest operating system. A local attacker on the guest can exploit these, via a specially crafted application, to cause the host system to crash.
(CVE-2017-0178, CVE-2017-0179, CVE-2017-0184)

- Multiple denial of service vulnerabilities exist in Windows Hyper-V Network Switch due to improper validation of input from the guest operating system. A local attacker on the guest can exploit these vulnerabilities, via a specially crafted application, to crash the host system. (CVE-2017-0182, CVE-2017-0183, CVE-2017-0185, CVE-2017-0186)

- A flaw exists in Windows due to improper handling of objects in memory that allows an attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2017-0191)

- An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the Adobe Type Manager Font Driver (ATMFD.dll) due to improper handling of objects in memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to open a specially crafted document or visit a malicious web page, to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2017-0192)

- A memory corruption issue exists in Internet Explorer due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to visit a malicious website, to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-0202)

- A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in Internet Explorer due to a failure to properly enforce cross-domain policies. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to inject arbitrary content and gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2017-0210)

- A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in Microsoft Windows OLE due to an unspecified failure in integrity-level checks. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to run an application with limited privileges at a medium integrity level. Note that this vulnerability by itself does not allow arbitrary code execution but can be used in conjunction other vulnerabilities. (CVE-2017-0211)
