| Detailed Description |
The Hotfix (MS16-096, 3177358) for 'Cumulative Security Update for Microsoft Edge' has not been applied.
This security update resolves vulnerabilities in Microsoft Edge. The most severe of the vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user views a specially crafted webpage using Microsoft Edge. An attacker who successfully exploited the 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 users with administrative user rights.
Multiple Microsoft Edge Memory Corruption Vulnerabilities
Multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities exist when Microsoft Edge improperly accesses objects in memory. The vulnerabilities could corrupt memory in a way that enables an attacker to 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, 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.
Scripting Engine Memory Corruption Vulnerability ? CVE-2016-3296
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the Chakra JavaScript engine renders when handling objects in memory in Microsoft Edge. The vulnerability 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 vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability 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 Edge Information Disclosure Vulnerabilities
Multiple information disclosure vulnerabilities exist when Microsoft Edge improperly handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerabilities could obtain information to further compromise the user¡¯s system.
Microsoft Edge Information Disclosure Vulnerability ? CVE-2016-3329
An information disclosure vulnerability exists when Microsoft Edge 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 Microsoft Edge.
* 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.
