MS16-135: Security Update for Windows Kernel-Mode Drivers (3199135)

high Nessus Plugin ID 94636

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

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

- An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the Windows kernel that allows a local attacker, via a specially crafted application, to bypass the Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) feature and retrieve the memory address of a kernel object. (CVE-2016-7214)

- Multiple elevation of privilege vulnerabilities exist in the Windows kernel-mode driver due to improper handling of objects in memory. A local attacker can exploit these, via a specially crafted application, to execute arbitrary code in kernel mode. (CVE-2016-7215, CVE-2016-7246, CVE-2016-7255)

- An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the bowser.sys kernel-mode driver due to improper handling objects in memory. A local attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted application, to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2016-7218)

Solution

Microsoft has released a set of patches for Windows Vista, 2008, 7, 2008 R2, 2012, 8.1, RT 8.1, 2012 R2, 10, and 2016.
