Windows Media Player in Microsoft Windows 8.1; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows RT 8.1; Windows 7 SP1; Windows 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1, Windows Server 2016; Windows Vista SP2; and Windows 10 Gold, 1511, and 1607 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a crafted web site, aka "Windows Media Player Information Disclosure Vulnerability."

The remote Windows host is missing security update 4015548 or cumulative update 4015551. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the     open-source libjpeg image processing library due to     improper handling of objects in memory. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     disclose sensitive information that can be utilized to     bypass ASLR security protections. (CVE-2013-6629)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in     Windows DirectShow due to improper handling of objects     in memory. Any unauthenticated, remote attacker can     exploit this, by convincing a user to visit a website     with specially crafted media content, to disclose     sensitive information. (CVE-2017-0042)

  - Multiple information disclosure vulnerabilities exist in     the win32k component due to improper handling of kernel     information. A local attacker can exploit these     vulnerabilities, via a specially crafted application, to     disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2017-0058,     CVE-2017-0188)

  - Multiple flaws exist in Windows Hyper-V Network Switch     due to improper validation of input from the guest     operating system. A local attacker can exploit these,     via a specially crafted application on the guest, to     execute arbitrary code on the host system.
    (CVE-2017-0163, CVE-2017-0180)

  - A flaw exists in LDAP due to buffer request lengths not     being properly calculated. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted traffic     sent to a Domain Controller, to run processes with     elevated privileges. (CVE-2017-0166)

  - Multiple information disclosure vulnerabilities exist in     Windows Hyper-V Network Switch due to improper validation     of user-supplied input. A guest attacker can exploit     these to disclose sensitive information on the host     server. (CVE-2017-0168, CVE-2017-0169)

  - Multiple denial of service vulnerabilities exist in     Windows Hyper-V Network Switch due to improper     validation of input from the guest operating system. A     local attacker on the guest can exploit these     vulnerabilities, via a specially crafted application, to     crash the host system. (CVE-2017-0182, CVE-2017-0183,     CVE-2017-0185, CVE-2017-0186)

  - Multiple denial of service vulnerabilities exist in     Hyper-V due to improper validation of input from a     privileged user on a guest operating system. A local     attacker on the guest can exploit these, via a specially     crafted application, to cause the host system to crash.
    (CVE-2017-0184)

  - A flaw exists in Windows due to improper handling of     objects in memory that allows an attacker to cause a     denial of service condition. (CVE-2017-0191)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the     Adobe Type Manager Font Driver (ATMFD.dll) due to     improper handling of objects in memory. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by     convincing a user to open a specially crafted document     or visit a malicious web page, to disclose sensitive     information. (CVE-2017-0192)

  - An arbitrary code execution vulnerability exists in     Microsoft Office and Windows WordPad due to improper     handling of specially crafted files. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user     to open a malicious file, to execute arbitrary code in     the context of the current user. Note that this     vulnerability is being utilized to spread the Petya     ransomware. (CVE-2017-0199)

  - A memory corruption issue exists in Internet     Explorer in the JScript and VBScript engines due to     improper validation of user-supplied input. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by     convincing a user to visit a malicious website, to     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-0201)

  - A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in Internet     Explorer due to a failure to properly enforce     cross-domain policies. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this to inject arbitrary content     and gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2017-0210)

  - A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in Microsoft     Windows OLE due to an unspecified failure in     integrity-level checks. An authenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this to run an application with     limited privileges at a medium integrity level. Note     that this vulnerability by itself does not allow     arbitrary code execution but can be used in conjunction     other vulnerabilities. (CVE-2017-0211)

The remote Windows host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by an information disclosure vulnerability in Windows DirectShow due to improper handling of objects in memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to visit a website containing specially crafted media content, to disclose sensitive information.
