Synopsis

The remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote Windows host is missing security update 5023698. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities

- An out-of-bounds write vulnerability exists in TPM2.0's Module Library allowing writing of a 2-byte data past the end of TPM2.0 command in the CryptParameterDecryption routine. An attacker who can successfully exploit this vulnerability can lead to denial of service (crashing the TPM chip/process or rendering it unusable) and/or arbitrary code execution in the TPM context. (CVE-2023-1017)

- An out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in TPM2.0's Module Library allowing a 2-byte read past the end of a TPM2.0 command in the CryptParameterDecryption routine. An attacker who can successfully exploit this vulnerability can read or access sensitive data stored in the TPM. (CVE-2023-1018)

- Remote Procedure Call Runtime Remote Code Execution Vulnerability (CVE-2023-21708, CVE-2023-23405, CVE-2023-24869, CVE-2023-24908)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
