An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when DirectX improperly handles objects in memory, aka 'DirectX Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability'.

The remote Windows host is missing security update 4516033 or cumulative update 4516065. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when Windows     Hyper-V Network Switch on a host server fails to properly     validate input from an authenticated user on a guest     operating system.  (CVE-2019-0719)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in     Windows Text Service Framework (TSF) when the TSF server     process does not validate the source of input or     commands it receives. An attacker who successfully     exploited this vulnerability could inject commands or     read input sent through a malicious Input Method Editor     (IME). This only affects systems that have installed an     IME.  (CVE-2019-1235)

  - An information disclosure exists in the Windows Common     Log File System (CLFS) driver when it fails to properly     handle sandbox checks. An attacker who successfully     exploited this vulnerability could potentially read data     outside their expected limits.  (CVE-2019-1282)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the     Windows kernel fails to properly initialize a memory     address. An attacker who successfully exploited this     vulnerability could obtain information to further     compromise the users system.  (CVE-2019-1274)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the     way that Microsoft Graphics Components handle objects in     memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the     vulnerability could obtain information that could be     useful for further exploitation.  (CVE-2019-1283)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when the     Windows Jet Database Engine improperly handles objects     in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this     vulnerability could execute arbitrary code on a victim     system. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by     enticing a victim to open a specially crafted file. The     update addresses the vulnerability by correcting the way     the Windows Jet Database Engine handles objects in     memory. (CVE-2019-1240, CVE-2019-1241, CVE-2019-1242,     CVE-2019-1243, CVE-2019-1246, CVE-2019-1247,     CVE-2019-1248, CVE-2019-1249, CVE-2019-1250)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in     Microsoft Compatibility Appraiser where a configuration     file, with local privileges, is vulnerable to symbolic     link and hard link attacks. An attacker who successfully     exploited this vulnerability could run processes in an     elevated context. An attacker could then install     programs; view, change or delete data.  (CVE-2019-1267)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in     Microsoft Windows that could allow remote code execution     if a .LNK file is processed. An attacker who     successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the     same user rights as the local user.  (CVE-2019-1280)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in     Windows when the Windows SMB Client kernel-mode driver     fails to properly handle objects in memory. An attacker     who successfully exploited the vulnerability could     potentially disclose contents of System memory.
    (CVE-2019-1293)

  - 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-2019-1244, CVE-2019-1245)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in     Windows when the Win32k component fails to properly     handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully     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-2019-1256, CVE-2019-1285)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way     that the VBScript engine handles 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 successfully exploited     the vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the     current user.  (CVE-2019-1208, CVE-2019-1236)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the     Windows Remote Desktop Client when a user connects to a     malicious server. An attacker who successfully exploited     this vulnerability could execute arbitrary code on the     computer of the connecting client. An attacker could     then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or     create new accounts with full user rights.
    (CVE-2019-1290, CVE-2019-1291)

  - A security feature bypass vulnerability exists when     Microsoft Browsers fail to validate the correct Security     Zone of requests for specific URLs. This could allow an     attacker to cause a user to access a URL in a less     restricted Internet Security Zone than intended.
    (CVE-2019-1220)

  - An elevation of privilege exists when Winlogon does not     properly handle file path information. An attacker who     successfully exploited this vulnerability could run     arbitrary code. An attacker could then install programs;
    view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts     with full user rights.  (CVE-2019-1268)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the     Windows Common Log File System (CLFS) driver improperly     handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully     exploited this vulnerability could run processes in an     elevated context.  (CVE-2019-1214)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the     Windows GDI component 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 update addresses the vulnerability by     correcting how DirectX handles objects in memory.
    (CVE-2019-1216)

  - An elevation of privilege exists in hdAudio.sys which     may lead to an out of band write. An attacker who     successfully exploited this vulnerability could run     processes in an elevated context. An attacker could then     install programs; view, change or delete data.
    (CVE-2019-1271)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when     DirectX improperly handles objects in memory. An     attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability     could run arbitrary code in kernel mode.

    (CVE-2019-1284)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the     Windows Transaction Manager improperly handles objects     in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this     vulnerability could potentially read data that was not     intended to be disclosed.  (CVE-2019-1219)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the     way that ws2ifsl.sys (Winsock) handles objects in     memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the     vulnerability could execute code with elevated     privileges.  (CVE-2019-1215)
