| Detailed Description |
The Hotfix (MS14-037, 2975687) for 'Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer' has not been applied.
This security update resolves one publicly disclosed vulnerability and twenty-four privately reported vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer. The most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user views a specially crafted webpage using Internet Explorer. An attacker who successfully exploited these vulnerabilities could gain the same user rights as the current user. Customers whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.
- Extended Validation (EV) Certificate Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability(CVE-2014-2783)
A security feature bypass vulnerability exists in Internet Explorer because Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificate guidelines, which disallow the use of wildcard certificates, are not properly enforced. An attacker could bypass EV SSL certificate guidelines by using a wildcard certificate. EV SSL certificates issued by Certificate Authorities (CA) in compliance with Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificate guidelines cannot be used to exploit this vulnerability.
- Multiple Memory Corruption Vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer
Remote code execution vulnerabilities exist when Internet Explorer improperly accesses objects in memory. These vulnerabilities could corrupt memory in such a way that an attacker could execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user.
* Note: This check requires an account with administrative privileges which can log into the host to scan. Absence of this condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
