Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted web site, aka "Internet Explorer Memory Corruption Vulnerability," a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-1662 and CVE-2015-1665.

The remote host is running VLC 2.x prior to 2.0.2 and is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - An invalid pointer dereference flaw exists in the 3GP file format parser. With a specially crafted 3GP file, a context-dependent attacker can potentially execute arbitrary code.
 - The libpng library used by VLC contains an out-of-bounds read flaw in the 'png_convert_to_rfc1123()' function in 'png.c' that may allow a context-dependent attacker to crash an application linked against the library or disclose memory contents.
 - The libEBML library used by VLC contains a use-after-free error in the 'EblMaster::Read()' function in 'EbmlMaster.cpp' that is triggered when handling deeply nested elements with an infinite size. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
 - The libEBML library used by VLC contains an out-of-bounds read condition in the 'UTFstring::UpdateFromUTF8()' function in 'EbmlUnicodeString.cpp' that is triggered when reading UTF-8 strings. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to crash an application linked against the library or potentially disclose memory contents.
 - The libpng library contains overflow conditions in the 'png_set_PLTE()' function in 'pngset.c' and 'png_get_PLTE()' function in 'pngget.c' that are triggered when handling bit depths less than 8. With a specially crafted PNG image, a context-dependent attacker can cause a buffer overflow, crashing an application linked against the library or potentially execute arbtirary code.
 - A flaw exists that allows a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists because the web interface does not validate files' title metadata before returning it to users. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to create a specially crafted request that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
 - A flaw exists that is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated when handling a specially crafted MP4 file. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
 - An unspecified double-free flaw exists in the ADPCM decoder, which may allow an attacker to have an unspecified impact.
 - Multiple unspecified double-frees, integer overflows, infinite loops, read overflows, invalid frees, and division-by-zero flaws exist. No further details have been provided by the vendor.
 - A flaw exists that allows a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists because the HTTP interface does not validate input before returning it to users. This may allow a remote attacker to create a specially crafted request that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
 - An off-by-one overflow condition exists in the RealRtsp module. The issue is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to cause a buffer overflow, resulting in an unspecified impact.

The version of Internet Explorer installed on the remote host is missing Cumulative Security Update 3038314. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, the majority of which are remote code execution vulnerabilities. An attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website.

Note that KB3038314 was updated on April 22, 2015, for Internet Explorer for Windows Server 2003. If this update was installed prior to April 22, it will need to be reinstalled to be fully protected.
