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 Windows host is missing Cumulative Security Update 3177358. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- Multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities exist due to a failure to properly access objects in memory. A remote 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-2016-3289, CVE-2016-3293, CVE-2016-3319, CVE-2016-3322)

- A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the Chakra JavaScript engine 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 Office document, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code in the context of the current user. (CVE-2016-3296)

- Multiple information disclosure vulnerabilities exist due to improper handling of objects in memory. A remote attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website, resulting in the disclosure of sensitive information.
(CVE-2016-3326, CVE-2016-3327)

- An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to improper handling of page content. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website, resulting in the disclosure of specific files on a user's system. (CVE-2016-3329)
