    descriptionThe remote Windows host is missing security update 4457128. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - 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-2018-8457) - 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-2018-8424) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when Windows Hyper-V on a host server fails to properly validate input from an authenticated user on a guest operating system. (CVE-2018-0965, CVE-2018-8439) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when Windows does not properly handle specially crafted image files. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-8475) - 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-2018-8440) - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Windows that allows a sandbox escape. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could use the sandbox escape to elevate privileges on an affected system. This vulnerability by itself does not allow arbitrary code execution. However, the vulnerability could allow arbitrary code to run if an attacker uses it in combination with another vulnerability, such as a remote code execution vulnerability or another elevation of privilege vulnerability, that can leverage the elevated privileges when code execution is attempted. The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Windows parses files. (CVE-2018-8468) - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the Windows kernel fails to properly initialize a memory address. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could obtain information to further compromise the users system. (CVE-2018-8419) - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Windows Kernel API improperly handles registry objects in memory.

(CVE-2018-8442, CVE-2018-8443, CVE-2018-8445) - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the browser scripting engine improperly handle object types. An attacker who has successfully exploited this vulnerability might be able to read privileged data across trust boundaries. In browsing scenarios, an attacker could convince a user to visit a malicious site and leverage the vulnerability to obtain privileged information from the browser process, such as sensitive data from other opened tabs. An attacker could also inject malicious code into advertising networks used by trusted sites or embed malicious code on a compromised, but trusted, site. The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the browser scripting engine handles object types. (CVE-2018-8315) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when Internet Explorer improperly accesses 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-2018-8447, CVE-2018-8461) - A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Microsoft JET Database Engine that could allow remote code execution on an affected system. 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. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights. (CVE-2018-8392, CVE-2018-8393) - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the Microsoft Server Block Message (SMB) when an attacker sends specially crafted requests to the server. An attacker who exploited this vulnerability could cause the affected system to crash. To attempt to exploit this issue, an attacker would need to send specially crafted SMB requests to the target system. Note that the denial of service vulnerability would not allow an attacker to execute code or to elevate their user rights, but it could cause the affected system to stop accepting requests. The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting the manner in which SMB handles specially crafted client requests. (CVE-2018-8335) - A denial of service vulnerability exists when Microsoft Hyper-V Network Switch on a host server fails to properly validate input from a privileged user on a guest operating system. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could cause the host server to crash. (CVE-2018-8436, CVE-2018-8437, CVE-2018-8438) - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the way that the Windows Kernel handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could execute code with elevated permissions. (CVE-2018-8455) - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists due to an integer overflow in Windows Subsystem for Linux.

(CVE-2018-8456, CVE-2018-8459) - An remote code execution vulnerability exists when Microsoft Edge PDF Reader improperly handles objects in memory. The vulnerability could corrupt memory in such a way that enables 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. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker 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-2018-8464) - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the Microsoft Edge Fetch API incorrectly handles a filtered response type. An attacker could use the vulnerability to read the URL of a cross-origin request. Websites that that do not securely populate the URL with confidential information could allow information to be disclosed to an attacker. (CVE-2018-8366) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when Microsoft .NET Framework processes input. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take control of an affected system. (CVE-2018-8421) - 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-2018-8367, CVE-2018-8465, CVE-2018-8466, CVE-2018-8467) - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the scripting engine does not properly handle objects in memory in Microsoft browsers. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could obtain information to further compromise the users system. (CVE-2018-8452) - A security feature bypass exists when Device Guard incorrectly validates an untrusted file. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could make an unsigned file appear to be signed. Because Device Guard relies on the signature to determine the file is non- malicious, Device Guard could then allow a malicious file to execute. In an attack scenario, an attacker could make an untrusted file appear to be a trusted file. The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Device Guard handles untrusted files. (CVE-2018-8449) - A security feature bypass vulnerability exists when Windows Hyper-V BIOS loader fails to provide a high- entropy source. (CVE-2018-8435) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the 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-2018-8354) - A security feature bypass vulnerability exists in Internet Explorer due to how scripts are handled that allows a universal cross-site scripting (UXSS) condition. An attacker could use the UXSS vulnerability to access any session belonging to web pages currently opened (or cached) by the browser at the time the attack is triggered. (CVE-2018-8470) - 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.

    It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
    
      - 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-2018-8457)
    
      - 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-2018-8424)
    
      - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when
        Windows Hyper-V on a host server fails to properly
        validate input from an authenticated user on a guest
        operating system.  (CVE-2018-0965, CVE-2018-8439)
    
      - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when
        Windows does not properly handle specially crafted image
        files. An attacker who successfully exploited the
        vulnerability could execute arbitrary code.
        (CVE-2018-8475)
    
      - 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-2018-8440)
    
      - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in
        Windows that allows a sandbox escape. An attacker who
        successfully exploited the vulnerability could use the
        sandbox escape to elevate privileges on an affected
        system. This vulnerability by itself does not allow
        arbitrary code execution. However, the vulnerability
        could allow arbitrary code to run if an attacker uses it
        in combination with another vulnerability, such as a
        remote code execution vulnerability or another elevation
        of privilege vulnerability, that can leverage the
        elevated privileges when code execution is attempted.
        The security update addresses the vulnerability by
        correcting how Windows parses files. (CVE-2018-8468)
    
      - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the
        Windows kernel fails to properly initialize a memory
        address. An attacker who successfully exploited this
        vulnerability could obtain information to further
        compromise the users system.  (CVE-2018-8419)
    
      - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the
        Windows Kernel API improperly handles registry objects
        in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the
        vulnerability could gain elevated privileges on a
        targeted system. A locally authenticated attacker could
        exploit this vulnerability by running a specially
        crafted application. The security update addresses the
        vulnerability by helping to ensure that the Windows
        Kernel API properly handles objects in memory.
        (CVE-2018-8410)
    
      - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the
        DirectX Graphics Kernel (DXGKRNL) driver improperly
        handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully
        exploited this vulnerability could run processes in an
        elevated context.  (CVE-2018-8462)
    
      - 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-2018-8446)
    
      - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in
        Microsoft Edge that could allow an attacker to escape
        from the AppContainer sandbox in the browser. An
        attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability
        could gain elevated privileges and break out of the Edge
        AppContainer sandbox. The vulnerability by itself does
        not allow arbitrary code to run. However, this
        vulnerability could be used in conjunction with one or
        more vulnerabilities (for example a remote code
        execution vulnerability and another elevation of
        privilege vulnerability) to take advantage of the
        elevated privileges when running. The security update
        addresses the vulnerability by modifying how Microsoft
        Edge handles sandboxing. (CVE-2018-8463, CVE-2018-8469)
    
      - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when the
        Microsoft XML Core Services MSXML parser processes user
        input. An attacker who successfully exploited the
        vulnerability could run malicious code remotely to take
        control of the users system.  (CVE-2018-8420)
    
      - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the
        Windows Graphics component 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 the Windows Graphics
        Component handles objects in memory. (CVE-2018-8433)
    
      - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when
        Windows Hyper-V on a host operating system fails to
        properly validate input from an authenticated user on a
        guest operating system.  (CVE-2018-8434)
    
      - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when the
        Windows font library improperly handles specially
        crafted embedded fonts. 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-2018-8332)
    
      - 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. An authenticated attacker could exploit this
        vulnerability by running a specially crafted
        application. The update addresses the vulnerability by
        correcting how the Windows kernel handles objects in
        memory. (CVE-2018-8442, CVE-2018-8443, CVE-2018-8445)
    
      - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the
        browser scripting engine improperly handle object types.
        An attacker who has successfully exploited this
        vulnerability might be able to read privileged data
        across trust boundaries. In browsing scenarios, an
        attacker could convince a user to visit a malicious site
        and leverage the vulnerability to obtain privileged
        information from the browser process, such as sensitive
        data from other opened tabs. An attacker could also
        inject malicious code into advertising networks used by
        trusted sites or embed malicious code on a compromised,
        but trusted, site. The security update addresses the
        vulnerability by correcting how the browser scripting
        engine handles object types. (CVE-2018-8315)
    
      - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when
        Internet Explorer improperly accesses 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-2018-8447,
        CVE-2018-8461)
    
      - A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Microsoft
        JET Database Engine that could allow remote code
        execution on an affected system. 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. Users whose
        accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the
        system could be less impacted than users who operate
        with administrative user rights.  (CVE-2018-8392,
        CVE-2018-8393)
    
      - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the
        Microsoft Server Block Message (SMB) when an attacker
        sends specially crafted requests to the server. An
        attacker who exploited this vulnerability could cause
        the affected system to crash. To attempt to exploit this
        issue, an attacker would need to send specially crafted
        SMB requests to the target system. Note that the denial
        of service vulnerability would not allow an attacker to
        execute code or to elevate their user rights, but it
        could cause the affected system to stop accepting
        requests. The security update addresses the
        vulnerability by correcting the manner in which SMB
        handles specially crafted client requests.
        (CVE-2018-8335)
    
      - A denial of service vulnerability exists when Microsoft
        Hyper-V Network Switch on a host server fails to
        properly validate input from a privileged user on a
        guest operating system. An attacker who successfully
        exploited the vulnerability could cause the host server
        to crash.  (CVE-2018-8436, CVE-2018-8437, CVE-2018-8438)
    
      - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the
        way that the Windows Kernel handles objects in memory.
        An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability
        could execute code with elevated permissions.
        (CVE-2018-8455)
    
      - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists due to an
        integer overflow in Windows Subsystem for Linux. An
        attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability
        could execute code with elevated permissions.
        (CVE-2018-8441)
    
      - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in
        Windows when the Windows bowser.sys kernel-mode driver
        fails to properly handle objects in memory. An attacker
        who successfully exploited the vulnerability could
        potentially disclose contents of System memory.
        (CVE-2018-8271)
    
      - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way
        that the ChakraCore scripting 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-2018-8456,
        CVE-2018-8459)
    
      - An remote code execution vulnerability exists when
        Microsoft Edge PDF Reader improperly handles objects in
        memory. The vulnerability could corrupt memory in such a
        way that enables 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. If the current
        user is logged on with administrative user rights, an
        attacker 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-2018-8464)
    
      - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the
        Microsoft Edge Fetch API incorrectly handles a filtered
        response type. An attacker could use the vulnerability
        to read the URL of a cross-origin request. Websites that
        that do not securely populate the URL with confidential
        information could allow information to be disclosed to
        an attacker.  (CVE-2018-8366)
    
      - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when
        Microsoft .NET Framework processes input. An attacker
        who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take
        control of an affected system.  (CVE-2018-8421)
    
      - 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-2018-8367, CVE-2018-8465,
        CVE-2018-8466, CVE-2018-8467)
    
      - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the
        scripting engine does not properly handle objects in
        memory in Microsoft browsers. An attacker who
        successfully exploited the vulnerability could obtain
        information to further compromise the users system.
        (CVE-2018-8452)
    
      - A security feature bypass exists when Device Guard
        incorrectly validates an untrusted file. An attacker who
        successfully exploited this vulnerability could make an
        unsigned file appear to be signed. Because Device Guard
        relies on the signature to determine the file is non-
        malicious, Device Guard could then allow a malicious
        file to execute. In an attack scenario, an attacker
        could make an untrusted file appear to be a trusted
        file. The update addresses the vulnerability by
        correcting how Device Guard handles untrusted files.
        (CVE-2018-8449)
    
      - A security feature bypass vulnerability exists when
        Windows Hyper-V BIOS loader fails to provide a high-
        entropy source.  (CVE-2018-8435)
    
      - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way
        that the 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-2018-8354)
    
      - A security feature bypass vulnerability exists in
        Internet Explorer due to how scripts are handled that
        allows a universal cross-site scripting (UXSS)
        condition. An attacker could use the UXSS vulnerability
        to access any session belonging to web pages currently
        opened (or cached) by the browser at the time the attack
        is triggered.  (CVE-2018-8470)
    
      - 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.

    NASL idSMB_NT_MS18_SEP_4457142.NASL
    descriptionThe remote Windows host is missing security update 4457142. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - 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-2018-8457) - 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-2018-8424) - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Windows that allows a sandbox escape. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could use the sandbox escape to elevate privileges on an affected system. This vulnerability by itself does not allow arbitrary code execution. However, the vulnerability could allow arbitrary code to run if an attacker uses it in combination with another vulnerability, such as a remote code execution vulnerability or another elevation of privilege vulnerability, that can leverage the elevated privileges when code execution is attempted. The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Windows parses files. (CVE-2018-8468) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when Windows does not properly handle specially crafted image files. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-8475) - 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-2018-8440) - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Microsoft Edge that could allow an attacker to escape from the AppContainer sandbox in the browser. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain elevated privileges and break out of the Edge AppContainer sandbox. The vulnerability by itself does not allow arbitrary code to run. However, this vulnerability could be used in conjunction with one or more vulnerabilities (for example a remote code execution vulnerability and another elevation of privilege vulnerability) to take advantage of the elevated privileges when running. The security update addresses the vulnerability by modifying how Microsoft Edge handles sandboxing. (CVE-2018-8469) - 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. An authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by running a specially crafted application. The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the Windows kernel handles objects in memory. (CVE-2018-8442, CVE-2018-8443) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when Windows Hyper-V on a host server fails to properly validate input from an authenticated user on a guest operating system. (CVE-2018-8439) - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Windows Kernel API improperly handles registry objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain elevated privileges on a targeted system. A locally authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by running a specially crafted application. The security update addresses the vulnerability by helping to ensure that the Windows Kernel API properly handles objects in memory. (CVE-2018-8410) - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the DirectX Graphics Kernel (DXGKRNL) driver improperly handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run processes in an elevated context. (CVE-2018-8462) - 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-2018-8446) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when the Microsoft XML Core Services MSXML parser processes user input. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could run malicious code remotely to take control of the users system. (CVE-2018-8420) - A denial of service vulnerability exists when Microsoft Hyper-V Network Switch on a host server fails to properly validate input from a privileged user on a guest operating system. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could cause the host server to crash. (CVE-2018-8438) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the ChakraCore scripting 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-2018-8456) - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when Windows Hyper-V on a host operating system fails to properly validate input from an authenticated user on a guest operating system. (CVE-2018-8434) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when the Windows font library improperly handles specially crafted embedded fonts. 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-2018-8332) - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the browser scripting engine improperly handle object types. An attacker who has successfully exploited this vulnerability might be able to read privileged data across trust boundaries. In browsing scenarios, an attacker could convince a user to visit a malicious site and leverage the vulnerability to obtain privileged information from the browser process, such as sensitive data from other opened tabs. An attacker could also inject malicious code into advertising networks used by trusted sites or embed malicious code on a compromised, but trusted, site. The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the browser scripting engine handles object types. (CVE-2018-8315) - A security feature bypass vulnerability exists when Windows Subsystem for Linux improperly handles case sensitivity. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could replace or delete arbitrary files as a low privilege user. A attacker could exploit this vulnerability by running a specially crafted application. The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Windows Subsystem for Linux handles case sensitivity. (CVE-2018-8337) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when Internet Explorer improperly accesses 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-2018-8447, CVE-2018-8461) - A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Microsoft JET Database Engine that could allow remote code execution on an affected system. 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. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights. (CVE-2018-8392, CVE-2018-8393) - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the Microsoft Server Block Message (SMB) when an attacker sends specially crafted requests to the server. An attacker who exploited this vulnerability could cause the affected system to crash. To attempt to exploit this issue, an attacker would need to send specially crafted SMB requests to the target system. Note that the denial of service vulnerability would not allow an attacker to execute code or to elevate their user rights, but it could cause the affected system to stop accepting requests. The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting the manner in which SMB handles specially crafted client requests. (CVE-2018-8335) - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the way that the Windows Kernel handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could execute code with elevated permissions. (CVE-2018-8455) - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in Windows when the Windows bowser.sys kernel-mode driver fails to properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could potentially disclose contents of System memory. (CVE-2018-8271) - An remote code execution vulnerability exists when Microsoft Edge PDF Reader improperly handles objects in memory. The vulnerability could corrupt memory in such a way that enables 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. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker 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-2018-8464) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when Microsoft .NET Framework processes input. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take control of an affected system. (CVE-2018-8421) - 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-2018-8367, CVE-2018-8465, CVE-2018-8466, CVE-2018-8467) - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the scripting engine does not properly handle objects in memory in Microsoft browsers. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could obtain information to further compromise the users system. (CVE-2018-8452) - A security feature bypass exists when Device Guard incorrectly validates an untrusted file.

Because Device Guard relies on the signature to determine the file is non- malicious, Device Guard could then allow a malicious file to execute. In an attack scenario, an attacker could make an untrusted file appear to be a trusted file. The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Device Guard handles untrusted files. (CVE-2018-8449) - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the Windows Graphics component 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 the Windows Graphics Component handles objects in memory. (CVE-2018-8433) - A security feature bypass vulnerability exists when Windows Hyper-V BIOS loader fails to provide a high- entropy source. (CVE-2018-8435) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the 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.
