| Detailed Description |
The Hotfix (MS15-065, 3076321) for 'Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer' has not been applied.
This security update resolves vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer. The most severe of the 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.
The security update addresses the vulnerabilities by:
- Modifying how Internet Explorer, VBScript, and JScript handle objects in memory
- Helping to ensure that affected versions of Internet Explorer properly implement the CFG security feature
- Preventing the XSS filter in Internet Explorer from incorrectly disabling HTML attributes
- Adding additional permission validations to Internet Explorer
- Helping to ensure that affected versions of Internet Explorer properly implement the ASLR security feature
- Helping to ensure cross-domain policies are properly enforced in Internet Explorer
- Helping to restrict what information is returned to external stylesheets
- Helping to ensure that file paths are properly validated before returning file data to the user
- Helping to ensure that requests for module resources are properly validated in Internet Explorer
* 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.
