NASL family Windows : Microsoft Bulletins NASL id SMB_NT_MS17_APR_4015221.NASL description The remote Windows 10 Version 1507 host is missing security update KB4015221. 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) - An information disclosure vulnerability exists 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) - 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.
