| Detailed Description |
The Hotfix (MS16-014, 3134228) for 'Security Update for Microsoft Windows to Address Remote Code Execution' has not been applied.
This security update resolves vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows. The most severe of the vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if an attacker is able to log on to a target system and run a specially crafted application.
Windows Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability - CVE-2016-0040
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Windows kernel improperly handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the 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.
Multiple DLL Loading Remote Code Execution Vulnerabilities
Multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities exist when Windows improperly validates input before loading dynamic link library (DLL) files. An attacker who successfully exploited these vulnerabilities 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.
Windows DLL Loading Denial of Service Vulnerability ? CVE-2016-0044
A denial of service vulnerability exists in Windows when Microsoft Sync Framework processes specially crafted input that uses the ¡°change batch¡± structure. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could cause the target SyncShareSvc service to stop responding. Note that the denial of service would not allow an attacker to execute code or to elevate their user rights. However, it could prevent authenticated users from using the SyncShareSvc service.
Windows Kerberos Security Feature Bypass ? CVE-2016-0049
A security feature bypass exists in Windows when Kerberos fails to check the password change of a user signing into a workstation. An attacker could bypass Kerberos authentication on a target machine and decrypt drives protected by BitLocker.
* 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.
