vbscript.dll in Microsoft VBScript 5.6 through 5.8, as used with Internet Explorer 6 through 11 and other products, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted web site, aka "VBScript Memory Corruption 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.

The VBScript scripting engine on the remote host is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability due to improper handling of objects in memory. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website or open a specially crafted Microsoft Office document, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code in the context of the current user.
