The kernel-mode driver in Microsoft Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2, Windows RT 8.1, and Windows 10 Gold and 1511 allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted application, aka "Win32k Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability," a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-0165 and CVE-2016-0167.

The remote Windows host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
  - Multiple elevation of privilege vulnerabilities exist in     the Windows kernel-mode driver due to a failure to     properly handle objects in memory. An attacker can     exploit these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code     in kernel mode. (CVE-2016-0143, CVE-2016-0165,     CVE-2016-0167)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the     Windows font library due to improper handling of     embedded fonts. An attacker can exploit this     vulnerability by convincing a user to open a file or     visit a website containing specially crafted embedded     fonts, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code in     the context of the current user. (CVE-2016-0145)
