The Microsoft Skype for Business installation on the remote host is missing security updates. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  • A session spoofing vulnerability exists. An attacker can exploit this to perform actions with the privileges of another user. (CVE-2021-24073)

  • A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue to cause the affected component to deny system or application services. (CVE-2021-24099)
