    descriptionThe remote Windows 10 version 1703 host is missing security update KB4015583. 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 remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft Edge 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-2017-0093) - 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

        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 remote code execution vulnerability exists in
        Microsoft Edge 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-2017-0093)
    
      - A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the
        Microsoft Graphics Component due to improper handling of
        objects in memory. A local attacker can exploit this,

        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)

        disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2017-0167)
    
      - 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.

        objects in memory. A local attacker can exploit this,
        via a specially crafted application, to execute
        arbitrary code in kernel mode. (CVE-2017-0189)
    
      - A flaw exists in Windows due to improper handling of
        objects in memory that allows an attacker to cause a

      - 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

        execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-0202)
    
      - A security feature bypass vulnerability exists in
        Microsoft Edge due to improper handling of CSP
        documents. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can
        exploit this, via a specially crafted CSP document, to
        bypass security features. (CVE-2017-0203)
    
      - A memory corruption issue exists in Microsoft Edge 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-2017-0205)

        Microsoft Edge in the Chakra scripting engine due to
        improper handling of objects in memory. An
        unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to
        disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2017-0208)
    
      - 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)");
