    descriptionThe remote Windows host is missing security update 4467708. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - A security feature bypass vulnerability exists in Microsoft JScript that could allow an attacker to bypass Device Guard. (CVE-2018-8417) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the scripting engine handles objects in memory in Internet Explorer. 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-2018-8552) - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when DirectX improperly handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in kernel mode. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. (CVE-2018-8485, CVE-2018-8554, CVE-2018-8561) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when PowerShell improperly handles specially crafted files. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could execute malicious code on a vulnerable system. (CVE-2018-8256) - A security feature bypass exists when Windows incorrectly validates kernel driver signatures. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could bypass security features and load improperly signed drivers into the kernel. In an attack scenario, an attacker could bypass security features intended to prevent improperly signed drivers from being loaded by the kernel. The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Windows validates kernel driver signatures. (CVE-2018-8549) - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the way that Microsoft Edge handles cross-origin requests. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could determine the origin of all webpages in the affected browser. (CVE-2018-8545) - A tampering vulnerability exists in PowerShell that could allow an attacker to execute unlogged code. (CVE-2018-8415) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that Windows Deployment Services TFTP Server handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could execute arbitrary code with elevated permissions on a target system. (CVE-2018-8476) - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Windows 10 version 1809 when installed from physical media (USB, DVD, etc.) with the keep nothing option selected during installation. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability could allow an attacker to gain local access to an affected system. (CVE-2018-8592) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the VBScript engine handles objects in memory. 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-2018-8544) - 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-2018-8584) - An elevation of privilege exists in Windows COM Aggregate Marshaler. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could run arbitrary code with elevated privileges. (CVE-2018-8550) - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when Windows Audio Service fails to properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could potentially disclose memory contents of a elevated process. (CVE-2018-8454) - A spoofing vulnerability exists when Microsoft Edge improperly handles specific HTML content. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could trick a user into believing that the user was on a legitimate website. The specially crafted website could either spoof content or serve as a pivot to chain an attack with other vulnerabilities in web services. (CVE-2018-8564) - A cross-site-scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists when an open source customization for Microsoft Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) does not properly sanitize a specially crafted web request to an affected AD FS server. An authenticated attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending a specially crafted request to an affected AD FS server. The attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could then perform cross-site scripting attacks on affected systems and run scripts in the security context of the current user. The attacks could allow the attacker to read content that the attacker is not authorized to read, use the victim

      - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way
        that Windows Deployment Services TFTP Server handles
        objects in memory. An attacker who successfully
        exploited the vulnerability could execute arbitrary code
        with elevated permissions on a target system.
        (CVE-2018-8476)
    
      - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in
        Windows 10 version 1809 when installed from physical
        media (USB, DVD, etc.) with the keep nothing option
        selected during installation. Successful exploitation of
        the vulnerability could allow an attacker to gain local
        access to an affected system.  (CVE-2018-8592)
    
      - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way
        that the VBScript engine handles objects in memory. 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-2018-8544)
    
      - 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-2018-8584)
    
      - An elevation of privilege exists in Windows COM
        Aggregate Marshaler. An attacker who successfully
        exploited the vulnerability could run arbitrary code
        with elevated privileges.  (CVE-2018-8550)
    
      - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when

        in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the
        vulnerability could potentially disclose memory contents
        of a elevated process.  (CVE-2018-8454)
    
      - A spoofing vulnerability exists when Microsoft Edge
        improperly handles specific HTML content. An attacker
        who successfully exploited this vulnerability could
        trick a user into believing that the user was on a
        legitimate website. The specially crafted website could
        either spoof content or serve as a pivot to chain an
        attack with other vulnerabilities in web services.
        (CVE-2018-8564)
    
      - A cross-site-scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists when
        an open source customization for Microsoft Active
        Directory Federation Services (AD FS) does not properly
        sanitize a specially crafted web request to an affected
        AD FS server. An authenticated attacker could exploit
        the vulnerability by sending a specially crafted request
        to an affected AD FS server. The attacker who
        successfully exploited the vulnerability could then
        perform cross-site scripting attacks on affected systems
        and run scripts in the security context of the current
        user. The attacks could allow the attacker to read
        content that the attacker is not authorized to read, use
        the victim's identity to take actions on the AD FS site
        on behalf of the user, such as change permissions and
        delete content, and inject malicious content in the
        browser of the user. The security update addresses the
        vulnerability by helping to ensure that the open source
        customization for AD FS properly sanitizes web requests.
        (CVE-2018-8547)
    
      - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in
        Windows when the Win32k component fails to properly
        handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully
        exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in
        kernel mode. An attacker could then install programs;
        view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts
        with full user rights.  (CVE-2018-8562)
    
      - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when
        "Kernel Remote Procedure Call Provider" driver
        improperly initializes objects in memory.
        (CVE-2018-8407)
    
      - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the
        way that the Microsoft RemoteFX Virtual GPU miniport
        driver handles objects in memory. An attacker who
        successfully exploited the vulnerability could execute
        code with elevated permissions.  (CVE-2018-8471)
    
      - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way
        that the Chakra scripting engine handles objects in
        memory in Microsoft Edge. 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-2018-8541, CVE-2018-8542,
        CVE-2018-8543, CVE-2018-8551, CVE-2018-8555,

    descriptionThe remote Windows host is missing security update 4467703 or cumulative update 4467697. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the scripting engine handles objects in memory in Internet Explorer. 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-2018-8552) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when Windows Search handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take control of the affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.

An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could execute malicious code on a vulnerable system. (CVE-2018-8256) - A security feature bypass exists when Windows incorrectly validates kernel driver signatures. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could bypass security features and load improperly signed drivers into the kernel. In an attack scenario, an attacker could bypass security features intended to prevent improperly signed drivers from being loaded by the kernel. The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Windows validates kernel driver signatures. (CVE-2018-8549) - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when DirectX improperly handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could obtain information to further compromise the users system. An authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by running a specially crafted application. The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how DirectX handles objects in memory.
