The remote Windows host is missing security update 5005607 or cumulative update 5005623. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  • An elevation of privilege vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this to gain elevated privileges.
    (CVE-2021-36955, CVE-2021-36963, CVE-2021-36964, CVE-2021-36974, CVE-2021-38628, CVE-2021-38633, CVE-2021-38638, CVE-2021-38639, CVE-2021-38667, CVE-2021-38671, CVE-2021-40447)

  • An memory corruption vulnerability exists. An attacker can exploit this to corrupt the memory and cause unexpected behaviors within the system/application.
    (CVE-2021-26435)

  • An information disclosure vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this to disclose potentially sensitive information. (CVE-2021-36960, CVE-2021-36962, CVE-2021-36969, CVE-2021-36972, CVE-2021-38629, CVE-2021-38635, CVE-2021-38636)

  • A remote code execution vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this to bypass authentication and execute unauthorized arbitrary commands. (CVE-2021-36965, CVE-2021-36958)

  • A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue to cause the affected component to deny system or application services. (CVE-2021-36961)

  • A session spoofing vulnerability exists. An attacker can exploit this to perform actions with the privileges of another user. (CVE-2021-36959)
