high Nessus Plugin ID 90433

Language:

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 :
 - Multiple elevation of privilege vulnerabilities exist in the Windows kernel-mode driver due to a failure to properly handle objects in memory. An attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code in kernel mode. (CVE-2016-0143, CVE-2016-0165, CVE-2016-0167)

 - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the Windows font library due to improper handling of embedded fonts. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by convincing a user to open a file or visit a website containing specially crafted embedded fonts, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code in the context of the current user. (CVE-2016-0145)

Solution

Microsoft has released a set of patches for Windows Vista, 2008, 7, 2008 R2, 2012, 8.1, RT 8.1, 2012 R2, and 10. Additionally, Microsoft has released a set of patches for Office 2007, Office 2010, Word Viewer, Skype for Business 2016, Lync 2010, Lync 2013, Live Meeting 2007 Console, .NET framework 3.0 SP2, .NET framework 3.5, and .NET framework 3.5.1.
