Microsoft Security Update for August 2020 is not installed.
The remote Windows host is missing security update 4565351. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
- A memory corruption vulnerability exists when Windows Media Foundation improperly handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. 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 a malicious webpage. The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Windows Media Foundation handles objects in memory. (CVE-2020-1379, CVE-2020-1477, CVE-2020-1478, CVE-2020-1492, CVE-2020-1525, CVE-2020-1554)
- An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the way that the Windows WalletService handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could execute code with elevated permissions. (CVE-2020-1533, CVE-2020-1556)
- A remote code execution vulnerability exists when Windows Media Audio Codec improperly handles objects. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could take control of an affected 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 a malicious webpage. The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Windows Media Audio Codec handles objects. (CVE-2020-1339)
- An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Connected User Experiences and Telemetry Service improperly handles file operations. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run processes in an elevated context. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by running a specially crafted application on the victim system. The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the Connected User Experiences and Telemetry Service handles file operations. (CVE-2020-1511)
- An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the way that the srmsvc.dll handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could execute code with elevated permissions. (CVE-2020-1475)
- An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Windows CDP User Components improperly handle memory. (CVE-2020-1549, CVE-2020-1550)
- An information disclosure vulnerability exists when DirectWrite 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 DirectWrite handles objects in memory. (CVE-2020-1577)
- An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Windows Radio Manager API improperly handles memory. (CVE-2020-1528)
