The remote Windows host is missing security update 4074590. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An vulnerability exists within microprocessors utilizing     speculative execution and indirect branch prediction,     which may allow an attacker with local user access to     disclose information via a side-channel analysis.
    (CVE-2017-5715, CVE-2017-5753, CVE-2017-5754)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way     that the scripting engine handles objects in memory in     Internet Explorer. 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-2018-0866)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the     Windows kernel improperly handles objects in memory. An     attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability     could obtain information to further compromise the users     system.  (CVE-2018-0757, CVE-2018-0829, CVE-2018-0830)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when     Windows improperly handles objects in memory. An     attacker who successfully exploited these     vulnerabilities could take control of an affected     system.  (CVE-2018-0842)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in     StructuredQuery when the software fails to properly     handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully     exploited the vulnerability could run arbitrary code in     the context of the current user. If the current user is     logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker     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-2018-0825)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when     Storage Services improperly handles objects in memory.
    An attacker who successfully exploited this     vulnerability could run processes in an elevated     context.  (CVE-2018-0826)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when NTFS     improperly handles objects. An attacker who successfully     exploited this vulnerability could run processes in an     elevated context.  (CVE-2018-0822)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way     that the scripting engine handles objects in memory in     Microsoft Edge. 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-2018-0834,     CVE-2018-0835, CVE-2018-0837, CVE-2018-0838,     CVE-2018-0857, CVE-2018-0859, CVE-2018-0860,     CVE-2018-0861)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when     AppContainer improperly implements constrained     impersonation. An attacker who successfully exploited     this vulnerability could run processes in an elevated     context.  (CVE-2018-0821)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in     Microsoft Windows when the MultiPoint management account     password is improperly secured. An attacker who     successfully exploited this vulnerability could run     arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
    (CVE-2018-0828)

  - 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-2018-0840)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the     Windows kernel that could allow an attacker to retrieve     information that could lead to a Kernel Address Space     Layout Randomization (ASLR) bypass. An attacker who     successfully exploited the vulnerability could retrieve     the memory address of a kernel object.  (CVE-2018-0832)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when     VBScript improperly discloses the contents of its     memory, which could provide an attacker with information     to further compromise the users computer or data.
    (CVE-2018-0847)

  - 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-2018-0844, CVE-2018-0846)

  - A security feature bypass vulnerability exists when     Microsoft Edge improperly handles requests of different     origins. The vulnerability allows Microsoft Edge to     bypass Same-Origin Policy (SOP) restrictions, and to     allow requests that should otherwise be ignored. An     attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability     could force the browser to send data that would     otherwise be restricted.  (CVE-2018-0771)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the     way that the Windows Kernel handles objects in memory.
    An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability     could execute code with elevated permissions.
    (CVE-2018-0742, CVE-2018-0756, CVE-2018-0820,     CVE-2018-0831)
