Detailed Description |
The Hotfix (MS16-118, 3192887) 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 in the way that Internet Explorer accesses objects in memory. The vulnerabilities could corrupt memory in a way that could allow 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, 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 Scripting Engine Memory Corruption Vulnerabilities Multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities exist in the way that the Scripting Engine renders when handling objects in memory in Microsoft browsers. The vulnerabilities could corrupt memory in such a way that an attacker could execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user.
Multiple Internet Explorer Elevation of Privilege Vulnerabilities Multiple elevation of privilege vulnerabilities exist when Internet Explorer or Edge fails to properly secure private namespace. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain elevated permissions on the namespace directory of a vulnerable system and gain elevated privileges.
Microsoft Browser Information Disclosure Vulnerability CVE-2016-3267 An information disclosure vulnerability exists when Internet Explorer or Edge does not properly handle objects in memory. The vulnerability could allow an attacker to detect specific files on the user's computer. In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a website that is used to attempt to exploit the vulnerability.
Microsoft Browser Information Disclosure Vulnerability CVE-2016-3391 An information disclosure vulnerability exists when Microsoft browsers leave credential data in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could harvest credentials from a memory dump of the browser process. An attacker would need access to a dump of memory from the affected system.
Internet Explorer Information Disclosure Vulnerability CVE-2016-3298 An information disclosure vulnerability exists when Internet Explorer improperly handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could test for the presence of files on disk. For an attack to be successful an attacker must persuade a user to open a malicious website.
* 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.
