    descriptionThe remote Windows host is missing security update 4343899 or cumulative update 4343900. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that Microsoft browsers access objects in memory. The vulnerability could corrupt memory in a way that could allow an attacker to 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-2018-8403) - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the Windows kernel improperly handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could obtain information to further compromise the users system. (CVE-2018-8341, CVE-2018-8348) - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) when ndis.sys fails to check the length of a buffer prior to copying memory to it. (CVE-2018-8342, CVE-2018-8343) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when Internet Explorer improperly validates hyperlinks before loading executable libraries. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. (CVE-2018-8316) - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the Windows GDI component improperly discloses the contents of its memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could obtain information to further compromise the users system. There are multiple ways an attacker could exploit the vulnerability, such as by convincing a user to open a specially crafted document, or by convincing a user to visit an untrusted webpage. The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the Windows GDI component handles objects in memory. (CVE-2018-8394, CVE-2018-8396, CVE-2018-8398) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way the scripting engine handles objects in memory in Microsoft browsers. 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-2018-8355, CVE-2018-8372, CVE-2018-8385) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft Windows that could allow remote code execution if a .LNK file is processed. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the local user. (CVE-2018-8345, CVE-2018-8346) - 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-2018-8353, CVE-2018-8371, CVE-2018-8373, CVE-2018-8389) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI) handles objects in the 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. (CVE-2018-8397) - 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-2018-8404) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in "Microsoft COM for Windows" when it fails to properly handle serialized objects. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could use a specially crafted file or script to perform actions. In an email attack scenario, an attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending the specially crafted file to the user and convincing the user to open the file. (CVE-2018-8349) - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the Windows Installer when the Windows Installer fails to properly sanitize input leading to an insecure library loading behavior. A locally authenticated attacker could run arbitrary code with elevated system privileges. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting the input sanitization error to preclude unintended elevation. (CVE-2018-8339) - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in Microsoft .NET Framework that could allow an attacker to access information in multi-tenant environments. The vulnerability is caused when .NET Framework is used in high-load/high-density network connections where content from one stream can blend into another stream. (CVE-2018-8360) - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when affected Microsoft browsers improperly allow cross-frame interaction. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could allow an attacker to obtain browser frame or window state from a different domain. For an attack to be successful, an attacker must persuade a user to open a malicious website from a secure website. This update addresses the vulnerability by denying permission to read the state of the object model, to which frames or windows on different domains should not have access. (CVE-2018-8351) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when the Windows font library improperly handles specially crafted embedded fonts. An attacker who successfully exploited the 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. (CVE-2018-8344)

    "The remote Windows host is missing security updates. It is,
    therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
    
      - Errors exist related to microprocessors utilizing
        speculative execution and L1 data cache that could
        allow information disclosure. (CVE-2018-3615,
        CVE-2018-3620, CVE-2018-3646)
    
      - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when the
        Windows font library improperly handles specially
        crafted embedded fonts. An attacker who successfully
        exploited the 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.  (CVE-2018-8344)
    
      - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way
        the scripting engine handles objects in memory in
        Microsoft browsers. 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-2018-8385)
    
      - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in
        Microsoft Windows that could allow remote code execution
        if a .LNK file is processed. An attacker who
        successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the
        same user rights as the local user.  (CVE-2018-8345,
        CVE-2018-8346)
    
      - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the
        Windows GDI component improperly discloses the contents
        of its memory. An attacker who successfully exploited
        the vulnerability could obtain information to further
        compromise the users system. There are multiple ways an
        attacker could exploit the vulnerability, such as by
        convincing a user to open a specially crafted document,
        or by convincing a user to visit an untrusted webpage.
        The security update addresses the vulnerability by
        correcting how the Windows GDI component handles objects
        in memory. (CVE-2018-8394, CVE-2018-8396, CVE-2018-8398)
    
      - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way
        that the Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI) handles
        objects in the 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.  (CVE-2018-8397)
    
      - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in
        'Microsoft COM for Windows' when it fails to
        properly handle serialized objects. An attacker who
        successfully exploited the vulnerability could use a
        specially crafted file or script to perform actions. In
        an email attack scenario, an attacker could exploit the
        vulnerability by sending the specially crafted file to
        the user and convincing the user to open the file.
        (CVE-2018-8349)
    
      - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the
        Windows Installer when the Windows Installer fails to
        properly sanitize input leading to an insecure library
        loading behavior. A locally authenticated attacker could
        run arbitrary code with elevated system privileges. An
        attacker could then install programs; view, change, or
        delete data; or create new accounts with full user
        rights. The security update addresses the vulnerability
        by correcting the input sanitization error to preclude
        unintended elevation. (CVE-2018-8339)
    
      - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the
        Windows kernel improperly handles objects in memory. An
        attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability
        could obtain information to further compromise the users
        system.  (CVE-2018-8348)");
