| Detailed Description |
Microsoft Security Update for October 2017 is not installed.
- 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 exploited the vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the current user. (CVE-2017-11813, CVE-2017-11822)
- A remote code execution vulnerability exists when Windows Search handles objects in memory. An attacker who 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-2017-11771)
- An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Windows Graphics Component improperly handles objects in memory. An attacker who exploited this vulnerability could run processes in an elevated context. (CVE-2017-11824)
- An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Windows kernel-mode driver fails to properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who 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-2017-8689, CVE-2017-8694)
- A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Microsoft JET Database Engine that could allow remote code execution on an affected system. An attacker who 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-2017-8717, CVE-2017-8718)
- An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the way that the Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI) handles objects in memory, allowing an attacker to retrieve information from a targeted system. By itself, the information disclosure does not allow arbitrary code execution; however, it could allow arbitrary code to be run if the attacker uses it in combination with another vulnerability. (CVE-2017-11816)
- An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the way that the Windows SMB Server handles certain requests. An authenticated attacker who exploited this vulnerability could craft a special packet, which could lead to information disclosure from the server. (CVE-2017-11815)
- An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the Windows kernel improperly handles objects in memory. An attacker who exploited this vulnerability could obtain information to further compromise the users
system. (CVE-2017-11765, CVE-2017-11814)
- 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 exploited the vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the current user. (CVE-2017-11793, CVE-2017-11810)
- A remote code execution vulnerability exists when the Windows font library improperly handles specially crafted embedded fonts. An attacker who 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-2017-11762, CVE-2017-11763)
- An information disclosure vulnerability exists when Internet Explorer improperly handles objects in memory. An attacker who exploited the vulnerability could obtain information to further compromise the users system. (CVE-2017-11790) |
