The remote Windows host is missing security update 4457128.
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way     the scripting engine handles objects in memory in     Microsoft browsers. The vulnerability could corrupt     memory in such a way that an attacker could execute     arbitrary code in the context of the current user. An     attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability     could gain the same user rights as the current user.
    (CVE-2018-8457)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the     Windows GDI component improperly discloses the contents     of its memory. An attacker who successfully exploited     the vulnerability could obtain information to further     compromise the users system. There are multiple ways an     attacker could exploit the vulnerability, such as by     convincing a user to open a specially crafted document,     or by convincing a user to visit an untrusted webpage.
    The security update addresses the vulnerability by     correcting how the Windows GDI component handles objects     in memory. (CVE-2018-8424)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when     Windows Hyper-V on a host server fails to properly     validate input from an authenticated user on a guest     operating system.  (CVE-2018-0965, CVE-2018-8439)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when     Windows does not properly handle specially crafted image     files. An attacker who successfully exploited the     vulnerability could execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2018-8475)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when     Windows improperly handles calls to Advanced Local     Procedure Call (ALPC). An attacker who successfully     exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in     the security context of the local system. An attacker     could then install programs; view, change, or delete     data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
    (CVE-2018-8440)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in     Windows that allows a sandbox escape. An attacker who     successfully exploited the vulnerability could use the     sandbox escape to elevate privileges on an affected     system.
