A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Internet Explorer in the way that the JScript and VBScript engines render when handling objects in memory. The vulnerability could corrupt memory in such a way that an attacker could execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user, aka "Scripting Engine Memory Corruption Vulnerability." This CVE ID is unique from CVE-2017-0093.

The Internet Explorer installation on the remote host is missing security updates. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when     Internet Explorer improperly accesses objects in memory.
    The vulnerability could corrupt memory in such a way     that an attacker could execute arbitrary code in the     context of the current user. An attacker who     successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain the     same user rights as the current user.  (CVE-2017-0202)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when     Internet Explorer does not properly enforce cross-domain     policies, which could allow an attacker to access     information from one domain and inject it into another     domain.  (CVE-2017-0210)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way     that the scripting engine handles objects in memory in     Internet Explorer. The vulnerability could corrupt     memory in such a way that an attacker could execute     arbitrary code in the context of the current user. An     attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability     could gain the same user rights as the current user.
    (CVE-2017-0201)

The remote Windows host is missing security update 4015548 or cumulative update 4015551. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the     open-source libjpeg image processing library due to     improper handling of objects in memory. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     disclose sensitive information that can be utilized to     bypass ASLR security protections. (CVE-2013-6629)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in     Windows DirectShow due to improper handling of objects     in memory. Any unauthenticated, remote attacker can     exploit this, by convincing a user to visit a website     with specially crafted media content, to disclose     sensitive information. (CVE-2017-0042)

  - Multiple information disclosure vulnerabilities exist in     the win32k component due to improper handling of kernel     information. A local attacker can exploit these     vulnerabilities, via a specially crafted application, to     disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2017-0058,     CVE-2017-0188)

  - Multiple flaws exist in Windows Hyper-V Network Switch     due to improper validation of input from the guest     operating system. A local attacker can exploit these,     via a specially crafted application on the guest, to     execute arbitrary code on the host system.
    (CVE-2017-0163, CVE-2017-0180)

  - A flaw exists in LDAP due to buffer request lengths not     being properly calculated. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted traffic     sent to a Domain Controller, to run processes with     elevated privileges. (CVE-2017-0166)

  - Multiple information disclosure vulnerabilities exist in     Windows Hyper-V Network Switch due to improper validation     of user-supplied input. A guest attacker can exploit     these to disclose sensitive information on the host     server. (CVE-2017-0168, CVE-2017-0169)

  - Multiple denial of service vulnerabilities exist in     Windows Hyper-V Network Switch due to improper     validation of input from the guest operating system. A     local attacker on the guest can exploit these     vulnerabilities, via a specially crafted application, to     crash the host system. (CVE-2017-0182, CVE-2017-0183,     CVE-2017-0185, CVE-2017-0186)

  - Multiple denial of service vulnerabilities exist in     Hyper-V due to improper validation of input from a     privileged user on a guest operating system. A local     attacker on the guest can exploit these, via a specially     crafted application, to cause the host system to crash.
    (CVE-2017-0184)

  - A flaw exists in Windows due to improper handling of     objects in memory that allows an attacker to cause a     denial of service condition. (CVE-2017-0191)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the     Adobe Type Manager Font Driver (ATMFD.dll) due to     improper handling of objects in memory. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by     convincing a user to open a specially crafted document     or visit a malicious web page, to disclose sensitive     information. (CVE-2017-0192)

  - An arbitrary code execution vulnerability exists in     Microsoft Office and Windows WordPad due to improper     handling of specially crafted files. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user     to open a malicious file, to execute arbitrary code in     the context of the current user. Note that this     vulnerability is being utilized to spread the Petya     ransomware. (CVE-2017-0199)

  - A memory corruption issue exists in Internet     Explorer in the JScript and VBScript engines due to     improper validation of user-supplied input. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by     convincing a user to visit a malicious website, to     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-0201)

  - A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in Internet     Explorer due to a failure to properly enforce     cross-domain policies. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this to inject arbitrary content     and gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2017-0210)

  - A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in Microsoft     Windows OLE due to an unspecified failure in     integrity-level checks. An authenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this to run an application with     limited privileges at a medium integrity level. Note     that this vulnerability by itself does not allow     arbitrary code execution but can be used in conjunction     other vulnerabilities. (CVE-2017-0211)
