Windows OLE in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 allows an attacker to execute code when a victim opens a specially crafted file or program aka "Windows olecnv32.dll Remote Code Execution Vulnerability."

The remote Windows host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by one or more of the following vulnerabilities :

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in how the     Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) handles requests if the     RDP server has Smart Card authentication enabled. An     authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a     specially crafted application, to execute arbitrary code     with full user privileges. (CVE-2017-0176)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in     Microsoft Internet Explorer due to improper handling of     objects in memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this, by convincing a user to visit a     specially crafted website, to execute arbitrary code in     the context of the current user. (CVE-2017-0222)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the     Microsoft Server Message Block 1.0 (SMBv1) server when     handling certain requests. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted     packet, to disclose sensitive information.
    (CVE-2017-0267)

  - A buffer overflow condition exists in the IIS WebDAV     service due to improper handling of the 'If' header in a     PROPFIND request. An unauthenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this, via a specially crafted request, to     cause a denial of service condition or the execution of     arbitrary code. This vulnerability, also known as     EXPLODINGCAN, is one of multiple Equation Group     vulnerabilities and exploits disclosed on 2017/04/14 by     a group known as the Shadow Brokers. (CVE-2017-7269)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in how the     Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) handles requests if the     RDP server has Routing and Remote Access enabled. An     authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a     specially crafted application, to execute arbitrary code     with full user privileges. (CVE-2017-8461)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Windows     OLE, specifically in olecnv32.dll, due to improper     validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user     to visit a specially crafted website or to open a     specially crafted file or email, to execute arbitrary     code in the context of the current user. (CVE-2017-8487)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the     Windows Search functionality due to improper handling of     objects in memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this, via a specially crafted SMB message,     to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-8543)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the     GDI component 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 specially crafted website, to     disclose the contents of memory. (CVE-2017-8552)

The remote Windows 8 host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in     Microsoft Internet Explorer due to improper handling of     objects in memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this, by convincing a user to visit a     specially crafted website, to execute arbitrary code in     the context of the current user. (CVE-2017-0222)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the     Microsoft Server Message Block 1.0 (SMBv1) server when     handling certain requests. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted     packet, to disclose sensitive information.
    (CVE-2017-0267)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Windows     due to improper handling of shortcuts. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by     convincing a user to insert a removable drive containing     a malicious shortcut and binary, to automatically     execute arbitrary code in the context of the current     user. (CVE-2017-8464)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Windows     OLE due to improper validation of user-supplied input.
    An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by     convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website or     to open a specially crafted file or email message, to     execute arbitrary code in the context of the current     user. (CVE-2017-8487)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the     Windows Search functionality due to improper handling of     objects in memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this, via a specially crafted SMB message,     to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-8543)
