The remote Windows host is missing multiple security updates released on 2017/09/12. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when     Windows Hyper-V on a host operating system fails to     properly validate input from an authenticated user on a     guest operating system. To exploit the vulnerability, an     attacker on a guest operating system could run a     specially crafted application that could cause the     Hyper-V host operating system to disclose memory     information. An attacker who successfully exploited the     vulnerability could gain access to information on the     Hyper-V host operating system. The security update     addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Hyper-V     validates guest operating system user input.
    (CVE-2017-8707)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the     Windows System Information Console when it improperly     parses XML input containing a reference to an external     entity. An attacker who successfully exploited this     vulnerability could read arbitrary files via an XML     external entity (XXE) declaration. To exploit the     vulnerability, an attacker could create a file     containing specially crafted XML content and convince an     authenticated user to open the file. The update     addresses the vulnerability by modifying the way that     the Windows System Information Console parses XML input.
    (CVE-2017-8710)

  - An Information disclosure vulnerability exists in     Windows kernel that could allow an attacker to retrieve     information that could lead to a Kernel Address Space     Layout Randomization (KASLR) bypass. An attacker who     successfully exploited this vulnerability could retrieve     the memory address of a kernel object. To exploit this     vulnerability, an attacker would have to log on to an     affected system and run a specially crafted application.
    The security update addresses the vulnerability by     correcting how the Windows kernel handles memory     addresses. (CVE-2017-8687)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the     Microsoft Windows Graphics Component improperly handles     objects in memory. An attacker who successfully     exploited the vulnerability could obtain information to     further compromise the users system. To exploit this     vulnerability, an attacker would have to log on to an     affected system and run a specially crafted application.
    The vulnerability would not allow an attacker to execute     code or to elevate user rights directly, but it could be     used to obtain information that could be used to try to     further compromise the affected system. The update     addresses the vulnerability by correcting the way in     which the Windows Graphics Component handles objects in     memory. (CVE-2017-8683)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when the     Windows font library improperly handles specially     crafted embedded fonts. 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. 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. There are multiple ways an     attacker could exploit this vulnerability. In a web-     based attack scenario, an attacker could host a     specially crafted website that is designed to exploit     this vulnerability and then convince a user to view the     website. An attacker would have no way to force users to     view the attacker-controlled content. Instead, an     attacker would have to convince users to take action,     typically by getting them to click a link in an email     message or in an Instant Messenger message that takes     users to the attacker's website, or by opening an     attachment sent through email. In a file sharing attack     scenario, an attacker could provide a specially crafted     document file that is designed to exploit this     vulnerability, and then convince a user to open the     document file. The security update addresses the     vulnerabilities by correcting how the Windows font     library handles embedded fonts. (CVE-2017-8682)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when     Windows Shell does not properly validate file copy     destinations. 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. 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. To exploit the     vulnerability, a user must open a specially crafted     file. In an email attack scenario, an attacker could     exploit the vulnerability by sending the specially     crafted file to the user and then convincing the user to     open the file. In a web-based attack scenario, an     attacker could host a website (or leverage a compromised     website that accepts or hosts user-provided content)     that contains a specially crafted file designed to     exploit the vulnerability. An attacker would have no way     to force a user to visit the website. Instead, an     attacker would have to convince a user to click a link,     typically by way of an enticement in an email or Instant     Messenger message, and then convince the user to open     the specially crafted file. The security update     addresses the vulnerability by helping to ensure that     Windows Shell validates file copy destinations.
