NASL family Windows : Microsoft Bulletins NASL id SMB_NT_MS17_JUN_4022726.NASL description The remote Windows host is missing security update 4022717 or cumulative update 4022726. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Windows Hyper-V instruction emulation due to a failure to properly enforce privilege levels. An attacker on a guest operating system can exploit this to gain elevated privileges on the guest. Note that the host operating system is not vulnerable. (CVE-2017-0193) - Multiple information disclosure vulnerabilities exist in Windows Uniscribe due to improper handling of objects in memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these, by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website or open a specially crafted document, to disclose the contents of memory. (CVE-2017-0282, CVE-2017-0284, CVE-2017-0285) - Multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities exist in Windows Uniscribe due to improper handling of objects in memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these, by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website or open a specially crafted document, to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. (CVE-2017-0283, CVE-2017-8528) - Multiple information disclosure vulnerabilities exist in the Windows GDI component due to improper handling of objects in memory.
