MS16-038: Cumulative Security Update for Microsoft Edge (3148532)

high Nessus Plugin ID 90432

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of Microsoft Edge installed on the remote host is missing Cumulative Security Update 3148532. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- Multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities exist due to improper handling of objects in memory. An 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. (CVE-2016-0154, CVE-2016-0155, CVE-2016-0156, CVE-2016-0157)

- A privilege escalation vulnerability exists due to improper enforcement of cross-domain policies. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website, allowing the attacker to inject information from an outside domain. (CVE-2016-0158)

- A privilege escalation vulnerability exists due to improper validation of JavaScript. An attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website, to run JavaScript at a higher privilege level than is allowed. (CVE-2016-0161)

Note that CVE-2016-0155 will only affect Windows client installations running at the version 1511 level.

Solution

Microsoft has released a set of patches for Windows 10.
