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

  - An spoofing vulnerability exists when Internet Explorer     improperly handles URLs. 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-2019-0921)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way     that Microsoft browsers access objects in memory. The     vulnerability could corrupt memory in a way that could     allow an attacker to 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-2019-0940)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way     the scripting engine handles 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-2019-0884, CVE-2019-0911, CVE-2019-0918)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when     Internet Explorer improperly handles objects in memory.
    An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability     could obtain information to further compromise the users     system.  (CVE-2019-0930)
