Windows Authenticode Signature Remote Code Execution Vulnerability (2653956). This host is missing a critical security update that could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code as the logged-on user. The flaw is due to the way Windows Authenticode Signature Verification function verifies portable executable (PE) files, which can be exploited to add malicious code to the file without invalidating the signature
