The Microsoft (1) VBScript 5.7 and 5.8 and (2) JScript 5.7 and 5.8 engines, as used in Internet Explorer 8 through 11 and other products, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted web site, aka "Scripting Engine Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

The remote Windows host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in     VBScript due to the improper disclosure of memory     contents. An attacker can exploit this to gain     information that can be used to further compromise a     user's computer or data. (CVE-2015-6135)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists related to     the way the VBScript engine renders when handling     objects in memory in Internet Explorer. A remote     attacker can exploit this, via a crafted web page,     document, or application, to gain elevated privileges     and take full control of an affected system.
    (CVE-2015-6136)

The version of Internet Explorer installed on the remote host is missing Cumulative Security Update 3116180. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, the majority of which are remote code execution vulnerabilities. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these issues by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code in the context of the current user.
