Synopsis

The remote host has a web browser installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Internet Explorer installed on the remote Windows host is missing Cumulative Security Update 4013073. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, the most severe of which are remote code execution vulnerabilities. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code in the context of the current user.

Solution

Microsoft has released a set of patches for Internet Explorer 9, 10, and 11.

Note that security update 3218362 in MS17-006 must also be installed in order to fully resolve CVE-2017-0008 on Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.
