This host is missing a critical security update for Microsoft WinVerifyTrust Signature Validation Vulnerability (2893294). The vulnerability is due to the WinVerifyTrust function which does not properly handle the Windows Authenticode signature verification for portable executable (PE) files. Successful exploitation will allow attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service condition
