The remote Windows host is missing security update 4034668. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when     Windows Search handles objects in memory. An attacker     who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take     control of the affected system. An attacker could then     install programs; view, change, or delete data; or     create new accounts with full user rights.
    (CVE-2017-8620)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the     Windows Common Log File System (CLFS) driver improperly     handles objects in memory.  (CVE-2017-8624)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way     JavaScript engines render when handling objects in     memory in Microsoft browsers. 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-2017-8635, CVE-2017-8641)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the     win32k component improperly provides kernel information.
    An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability     could obtain information to further compromise the users     system.  (CVE-2017-8666)

  - A security feature bypass vulnerability exists when     Internet Explorer fails to validate User Mode Code     Integrity (UMCI) policies. The vulnerability could allow     an attacker to bypass Device Guard UMCI policies.
    (CVE-2017-8625)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Windows     Input Method Editor (IME) when IME improperly handles     parameters in a method of a DCOM class. The DCOM server     is a Windows component installed regardless of which     languages/IMEs are enabled. An attacker can instantiate     the DCOM class and exploit the system even if IME is not     enabled.  (CVE-2017-8591)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when     Windows Hyper-V on a host server fails to properly     validate input from an authenticated user on a guest     operating system.  (CVE-2017-8664)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists when Microsoft     Windows improperly handles NetBIOS packets. An attacker     who successfully exploited this vulnerability could     cause a target computer to become completely     unresponsive. A remote unauthenticated attacker could     exploit this vulnerability by sending a series of TCP     packets to a target system, resulting in a permanent     denial of service condition. The update addresses the     vulnerability by correcting how the Windows network     stack handles NetBIOS traffic. (CVE-2017-0174)

  - A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Microsoft     JET Database Engine that could allow remote code     execution on an affected system. An attacker who     successfully exploited this vulnerability could take     control of an affected system. An attacker could then     install programs; view, change, or delete data; or     create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose     accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the     system could be less impacted than users who operate     with administrative user rights.  (CVE-2017-0250)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way     Microsoft browsers handle objects in memory while     rendering content. 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-2017-8669)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in     Windows Error Reporting (WER) when WER handles and     executes files. The vulnerability could allow elevation     of privilege if an attacker can successfully exploit it.
    An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability     could gain greater access to sensitive information and     system functionality.  (CVE-2017-8633)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when     Microsoft browsers improperly access objects in memory.
    The vulnerability could corrupt memory in such a way     that enables an attacker to 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-2017-8653)

  - 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-2017-8593)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way     that Microsoft browser JavaScript engines render content     when handling 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. In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could     host a specially crafted website that is designed to     exploit the vulnerability through Microsoft browsers and     then convince a user to view the website. An attacker     could also embed an ActiveX control marked &quot;safe     for initialization&quot; in an application or Microsoft     Office document that hosts the related rendering engine.
    The attacker could also take advantage of compromised     websites, and websites that accept or host user-provided     content or advertisements. These websites could contain     specially crafted content that could exploit the     vulnerability. An attacker who successfully exploited     the vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the     current user.  (CVE-2017-8636, CVE-2017-8640,     CVE-2017-8655, CVE-2017-8672)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when     Microsoft Windows PDF Library improperly handles objects     in memory. The vulnerability could corrupt memory in a     way that enables an attacker to 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. If the current     user is logged on with administrative user rights, an     attacker could take control of an affected system. An     attacker could then install programs; view, change, or     delete data; or create new accounts with full user     rights.  (CVE-2017-0293)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when     Microsoft Edge improperly handles objects in memory. An     attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability     could obtain information to further compromise the users     system.  (CVE-2017-8644, CVE-2017-8652)
