Detailed Description |
The Hotfix (MS15-020, 3041836) for 'Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows Could Allow Remote Code Execution' has not been applied. This security update resolves vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if an attacker successfully convinces a user to browse to a specially crafted website, open a specially crafted file, or browse to a working directory that contains a specially crafted DLL file.
- WTS Remote Code Execution Vulnerability(CVE-2015-0081) A remote code execution vulnerability exists when Windows Text Services improperly handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the context of the logged-on user.
- DLL Planting Remote Code Execution Vulnerability(CVE-2015-0096) A remote code execution vulnerability exists when Microsoft Windows improperly handles the loading of DLL files. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete 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.
* Note: This check requires an account with administrative privileges which can log into the host to scan. Absence of this condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
