Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 through 11 allows remote attackers to bypass the XSS filter via a crafted attribute of an element in an HTML document, aka "Internet Explorer XSS Filter Bypass Vulnerability."

The version of Internet Explorer installed on the remote host is missing Cumulative Security Update 3076321. 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.

Hosts running Internet Explorer 10 or Internet Explorer 11 will not be fully protected until both security update 3065822 and security update 3075516 are applied to the system. Security update 3075516 may require manual installation depending on your patching method.

Note that the majority of the vulnerabilities addressed by Cumulative Security Update 3076321 are mitigated by the Enhanced Security Configuration (ESC) mode which is enabled by default on Windows Server 2003, 2008, 2008 R2, 2012, and 2012 R2.
