The remote Windows host is missing security update 4054523 or cumulative update 4054520. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in RPC if     the server has Routing and Remote Access enabled. An     attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability     could execute code on the target system. An attacker     could then install programs; view, change, or delete     data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
    (CVE-2017-11885)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way     the scripting engine handles 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-2017-11894, CVE-2017-11912)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when     Internet Explorer improperly handles objects in memory.
    An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability     could obtain information to further compromise the users     system.  (CVE-2017-11887, CVE-2017-11906)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the     Windows its:// protocol handler unnecessarily sends     traffic to a remote site in order to determine the zone     of a provided URL. This could potentially result in the     disclosure of sensitive information to a malicious site.
    (CVE-2017-11927)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when     Internet Explorer improperly accesses 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-2017-11886,     CVE-2017-11890, CVE-2017-11901, CVE-2017-11903,     CVE-2017-11907, CVE-2017-11913)
