"The version of Microsoft Malware Protection Engine (MMPE) installed on
the remote Windows host is prior to 1.1.13804.0. It is, therefore,
affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
- Multiple denial of service vulnerabilities exist due to
improper scanning of specially crafted files. An
unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these, by
convincing a user to download or open a malicious file,
to cause the monitoring service to stop. (CVE-2017-8535,
CVE-2017-8536, CVE-2017-8537, CVE-2017-8539,
CVE-2017-8542)
- Multiple memory corruption issues exist due to improper
validation of input when scanning specially crafted
files. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit
these, by convincing a user to download or open a
malicious file, to cause a denial of service condition
or the possible execution of arbitrary code.
(CVE-2017-8538, CVE-2017-8541)
- A use-after-free error exists in the garbage collection
system used for managing JavaScript objects when
scanning specially crafted files. An unauthenticated,
remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user
to download or open a malicious file, to dereference
already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary
code. (CVE-2017-8540)
- A flaw exits in the x86 emulator implementation for the
Win32 API due to improper restrictions on access to
certain NTDLL routines. An unauthenticated, remote
attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to
download or open a malicious file, to execute arbitrary
code with SYSTEM privileges.
Note that Nessus has checked if a vulnerable version of MMPE is being
used by any of the following applications :
- Microsoft Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010
- Microsoft Endpoint Protection
- Microsoft Forefront Security for SharePoint
- Microsoft System Center Endpoint Protection
- Microsoft Security Essentials
- Windows Defender for Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows RT
8.1, Windows 10, Windows 10 1511, Windows 10 1607,
Windows 10 1703, and Windows Server 2016
- Windows Intune Endpoint Protection");
