Detailed Description |
The Hotfix (MS16-095, 3177356) 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 the vulnerabilities could gain the same user rights as the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker could take control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
Multiple Microsoft Internet Explorer Memory Corruption Vulnerabilities Multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities exist when Internet Explorer improperly accesses objects in memory. The vulnerabilities could corrupt memory in such a way that an attacker could execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerabilities could gain the same user rights as the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, the attacker could take control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
Multiple Internet Explorer Information Disclosure Vulnerabilities Multiple information disclosure vulnerabilities exist when Internet Explorer improperly handles page content, which could allow an attacker to detect the existence of specific files on the user's system. The update addresses the vulnerability by helping to ensure that page content is properly validated in Internet Explorer.
Multiple Internet Explorer Information Disclosure Vulnerabilities Multiple information disclosure vulnerabilities exist when Internet Explorer improperly handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerabilities could obtain information to further compromise the user¡¯s system.
