Technical details
Vulnerability (1) can be exploited only when DNS server is configured.
Vulnerability (2) can be exploited by attack against traffic between a domain controller and target machine. Domain-joined systems with server running Windows Server 2012 and above and clients running Windows 8 and above.
Vulnerability (4) related to Virtual PCI.
Vulnerability (5) related to GDI32.dll
Vulnerability (7) related to ATMFD.dll
Vulnerability (8) can be exploited via forwarding an authentication request for another service running on the same machine. To mitigate this vulnerability you can enable Extended Protection for Authentication for SMB server. For further instructions, please take a look at original MS16-075 advisory listed below.
Vulnerability (10) related to WPAD and caused by falling back to a vulnerable proxy discovery process in some situations. To mitigate this vulnerability you can disable WINSNetBT name resolution or stop WPAD using a host file entry. For further instructions about mitigation you can take a look at original MS16-077 advisory listed below.
Vulnerability (11) can be mitigated via stopping WPAD useing a host file entry. For further instructions about mitigation you can take a look at original MS16-077 advisory listed below.
