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

  - A security feature bypass vulnerability exists when     Microsoft browsers improperly handle redirect requests.
    The vulnerability allows Microsoft browsers to bypass     CORS redirect restrictions, and to follow redirect     requests that should otherwise be ignored. An attacker     who successfully exploited the vulnerability could force     the browser to send data that would otherwise be     restricted to a destination website of the attacker's     choice.  (CVE-2017-8592)

  - A spoofing vulnerability exists when an affected     Microsoft browser does not properly parse HTTP content.
    An attacker who successfully exploited this     vulnerability could trick a user by redirecting the user     to a specially crafted website. The specially crafted     website could either spoof content or serve as a pivot     to chain an attack with other vulnerabilities in web     services.  (CVE-2017-8602)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way     that the VBScript engine, when rendered in Internet     Explorer, handles objects in memory. In a web-based     attack scenario, an attacker could host a specially     crafted website that is designed to exploit this     vulnerability through Internet Explorer and then     convince a user to view the website. An attacker could     also embed an ActiveX control marked &quot;safe for     initialization&quot; in an application or Microsoft     Office document that hosts the Internet Explorer     rendering engine. The attacker could also take advantage     of compromised websites and websites that accept or host     user-provided content or advertisements. These websites     could contain specially crafted content that could     exploit this vulnerability. An attacker who successfully     exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user     rights as the current user.  (CVE-2017-8618)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way     JavaScript engines render when handling objects in     memory in Microsoft browsers. 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-2017-8606, CVE-2017-8607,     CVE-2017-8608)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when     Internet Explorer improperly accesses objects in memory     via the Microsoft Windows Text Services Framework. 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-2017-8594)

The remote Windows host is missing security update 4025333 or cumulative update 4025336. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

(CVE-2017-0170)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Windows     Explorer due to improper handling of executable files     and shares during rename operations.

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in     Windows due to improper handling of calls to Advanced     Local Procedure Call (ALPC). An authenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this via a specially crafted     application, to run processes in an elevated context.
    (CVE-2017-8562)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in     Windows due to Kerberos falling back to NT LAN Manager     (NTLM) Authentication Protocol as the default     authentication protocol.

(CVE-2017-8563)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the     Windows kernel due to improper initialization of objects     in memory. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit     this, via a specially crafted application, to bypass     Kernel Address Space Layout Randomization (KASLR) and     disclose the base address of the kernel driver.
    (CVE-2017-8564)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in     PowerShell when handling a PSObject that wraps a CIM     instance. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit     this, via a specially crafted script, to execute     arbitrary code in a PowerShell remote session.
