"The remote Windows host is missing security update 5000853
or cumulative update 5000848. It is, therefore, affected by
multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A remote code execution vulnerability. An attacker can
    exploit this to bypass authentication and execute
    unauthorized arbitrary commands. (CVE-2021-26861,
    CVE-2021-26877, CVE-2021-26881, CVE-2021-26893,
    CVE-2021-26894, CVE-2021-26895, CVE-2021-26897)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability. An attacker can
    exploit this to gain elevated privileges.
    (CVE-2021-1640, CVE-2021-26862, CVE-2021-26868,
    CVE-2021-26872, CVE-2021-26873, CVE-2021-26875,

    CVE-2021-26899, CVE-2021-26901, CVE-2021-27077)

  - A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability. An attacker can
    exploit this issue to cause the affected component to
    deny system or application services. (CVE-2021-26879,
    CVE-2021-26886, CVE-2021-26896, CVE-2021-27063)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability. An attacker can
    exploit this to disclose potentially sensitive
    information. (CVE-2021-24107, CVE-2021-26869,
    CVE-2021-26884)

  - An memory corruption vulnerability exists. An attacker
    can exploit this to corrupt the memory and cause
    unexpected behaviors within the system/application.
